Derby Public Library to host adventurer's multimedia lecture

DERBY - Join author Jeff Belanger at 6 p.m. June 28 at Derby Public Library to explore Africa's highest peak with a multimedia program and Q&A.

It's an honest and engaging account of one amateur hiker’s journey to spiritual transformation as he climbs 19,341 feet to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro - Africa’s highest peak.

After his brother-in-law Chris passed away, author Jeff Belanger made the decision to take the trip of a lifetime, both in honor of Chris and in pursuit of clarity about his own life and goals.

"The Call of Kilimanjaro" is a day-by-day record of Belanger’s ascent to the peak of Africa’s highest mountain.

Jeff Belanger is an author, podcaster, storyteller, adventurer, and explorer of the unexplained. He’s written more than a dozen books that have been published in six languages.

He’s the Emmy-nominated host, writer, and producer of the New England Legends series on PBS and Amazon Prime.

He provides programs and lectures to audiences all over the world, and he’s been the writer and researcher for every episode of "Ghost Adventures" on the Travel Channel.

Recuperation journey: Surprise in the mail

I got a fun surprise today from a travel writer friend who I rarely see and who happens to be enjoying a much anticipated trip to the UK at the moment. 

I know she worked a lot of overtime to afford the wonderful trip she planned for her milestone birthday! 
I hope she's having a fabulous time. 

Linda knows I love to collect gnomes and in the box she sent were these two dudes:

I'll have to find a place to put them.

Posting about Linda's gift here - and sending her a link - is a way to thank her for her thoughtfulness. I do love surprises!
