reviewed La Mortola: In the Footsteps of Thomas Hanbury on January 12, 2011
La Mortola
Not going to lie...I only read the parts that were associated with the places I am going. In the future the plan is to have read the entire book, meaning of course that I have visited the entire country.
I read this as a textbook, trying to take in all the knowledge and memorize it, but it's actually a pretty easy read and fun to learn more about a culture/history/architecture of a place. I'm definitely going to bring this on the trip. (Obviously will hide it in my room, so that no one thinks I'm a tourist). ;)
