| Thu Feb 09 | Book Group | Reading the World Book Group | Marilyn Mason | River of Stone River of Sand by Stephen Joseph MD Stephen is a Santa Fe resident and will attend the meeting Books available at Travel Bug Meet in the Store at 6 pm Everyone Welcome In 1964, newly-minted physician Stephen C. Joseph, just out of his internship, undertakes a two-year assignment as the Peace Corps Physician in Nepal. The job has two facets: responsibility for the health and medical care of a hundred young Peace Corps Volunteers scattered over the roadless hills and valleys along the uplift of the Himalayas, and "do whatever else you want to do in medicine." Many lessons not learned in medical school challenge his ingenuity and inexperience: Learn to carry your office in a backpack trekking two-week circuits through the countryside visiting volunteers and holding impromptu clinics in isolated villages. Struggle with the contrasting responsibilities of being both the "Company Doctor" and the patients' trusted confidant. Rely on your own judgment without medical peers or teachers within reach to guide you. Come to grips with the realities of Third World poverty, whose determinants are not easily remedied by Western medicine. Some of the lessons are baffling. Some are brutal and terrifying. |

| Sat Feb 25 | Slide Show | Morocco | Pamela Windo | You have to live and breathe a country for a number of years to know it well. Englishwoman Pamela Windo made Marrakech her home for seven years, from 1989-1996, when it was becoming a ‘hot destination.’ Her books include ‘Escape to Morocco,’ a photojournalistic account of her travels, and ‘Zohra’s Ladder & other Moroccan Tales,’ a potpourri of stories about people and places. The slide show is a comprehensive insider’s guide, and starts from Cap Spartel and Tangiers on the tip of North Africa down through Fes and the Middle Atlas Mountains and on from Marrakech through the High Atlas to Kasbah country in the deep south, finishing at the edge of the Sahara. |
