Turns out I was reading the perfect consoling, optimistic, best book ever that a person would want to be reading during the stressful Presidential Election week.  And I'm grateful.   

I wasn't biting my fingernails.  I was in Spain with Cristobal (Chris in England;Cristobal in Spain), his wife Ana, and their precious daughter Chloe.  Engrossed in their new life, on their newly purchased farm, El Valero, an isolated sheep farm in the Alpujarra Mountains in Southern Spain.

I enjoyed the cadence and tone of Chris Stewart's writing.  I love that it is a journal, not fiction, chronicling this families impromptu throw at life in a foreign land.  Healthy, wholesome adventure.

 I loved this book so much that there is no questions what I will be reading next. And that will be:
