I always enjoy reading books about the places we are traveling to.  Not just travel books, although I love those too.  But true stories or novels as well.  These books are not only entertaining, but give insight into the culture of the area.  I recently read the book Chickens, Mules, and two Old Fools, about a couple from England who move to southern Spain.

While reading, I would often laugh out loud and the family always wanted to know what was so funny.  So I soon began reading out loud after breakfast.  It didn’t take long before everyone was hooked.  There was a section (about chickens) that I changed a name and skimmed past some of the antics, since Luie is a bit young for that info.  The book is the true story of Vicky and Joe Twead and includes photos.  We all thoroughly enjoyed it. There are also a number of recipes included at the end of the book. We got the book through Amazon for our Kindle. One thing that I love about Amazon is that when you look up a book, there are recommendations of other books under the heading: Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought.  So as a result, I now have books ready for France, Italy, and Turkey.  I just have to be patient and not read them until we are in the country.

If you do read this book, please comment below.  I would love to hear what you thought of the book!
