Great descriptions of her travel adventures

Here is an interesting audio that chronicles the author's various travel adventures to places such as Italy, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Greece, Crete, Scotland, Turkey and sites along the way. She and her husband travel for extended periods of time and often rent a local apartment so they can blend in with the locals. Perhaps the defining feature of this audio is the colorful description of the people and scenery they encounter, along with the useful travel tips she offers. As a former professor, she provides an excellent historical detail and a keen observer's eye. More reviews at [...].

Disappointing

I had looked forward to this book so much and I was so disappointed. It was incredibly slow moving which puzzled me until I realized that these were a bunch of college lectures hobbled together. She went on and on about food but after reading Julia Child's book the descriptions were flat not exciting. If you want to read someone who appreciates food, read Child not Mayes. I really couldn't stand how she mocked other tourists because, believe it or not, Ms. Mayes you too are a tourist. If I was that cruise company, I'd send her a bill. She also seems to have a major problem with overweight people. It was a catty, boring book. I wished I had read the reviews before I bought it.
