Growing Old Outrageously: A Memoir of Travel, Food and Friendship

Two old school friends reconnect unexpectedly after 35 years and discover that they both love traveling--and the more exotic and far-flung the location, the better! Not having a clue whether they will get along, the eccentric pair embark on a trial journey to Morocco. That tentative beginning has turned into a series of wonderfully unusual holidays, and Hil and Liz have been circumnavigating the globe ever since. They have taken in Marrakech, Fez, and the Atlas Mountains; Patagonia and the Galapagos Islands; Istanbul and Cappadocia. They've been on safari in Namibia, Botswana, and the Serengeti, attended music festivals in Naples and Prague, and made a pilgrimage to the western isles of Mull and Iona. Along the way they have encouraged, enraged, and entertained each other, while living through countless adventures.This is a book for thrill-seekers and armchair travelers alike, a celebration of friendship and laughter--and an inspiration for anyone who's longed to venture outside their comfort zone and travel to exotic places.
