Go with this world traveler, restless and off kilter during the Covid lockdown, as she thinks--can’t travel the world? Then let’s travel the block! At turns inspiring, touching and funny, the author helps us realize that wherever your neighborhood happens to be, it is possible to find home right outside your front door.
Traveling the Neighborhood
While sequestered to the confines of her Pasadena neighborhood during the initial months of the Covid era, Mary Lea Carroll (a consummate traveler and explorer) refused to stop her love of travel and exploration. A lifelong resident of her neighborhood, she was determined to seek out and tell new stories of the place she calls home.
Even if she could only explore as far as across the street - or around the corner, her travels continued. Focusing on her neighbors and how they devised ways to entertain themselves, support others, and stay connected, she weaves stories of the present day with memories of her early life in this neighborhood, providing glimpses from her early life when every day was an adventure on the same block.
