Blue at the Mizzen Amazon Price: $11.16 Immerse yourself once again in the seafaring adventures of Captain Jack Aubrey and his ship’s surgeon Stephen Maturin as they roam the almost unexplored oceans of the early 17th century, and participate in the bittersweet “liberation” of Chile. The 85 year-old O’Brian’s flawless dialogue and meticulous attention to detail makes this book — like the rest of the series — a historical tour de force.

The thing about travel books is that they are just guides to give you ideas. Never go by the book, it makes for a boring life. The best adventures I have every had in South America were the ones that were not planned that goes for life too. The Easter Island part was good because it gave alot of info about the history and culture and gave directions to the museum so that we could get even more info if needed. I also like the Spanish vocab in the back because my Spanish is Mexican border now and guess what a sopa in SA is a bread and here in border land it is a soup. winter in Santiago you want soup not bread. Buy it and see the world the best thing in life is to follow you heart and dreams. 501 Quilt Blocks: A Treasury of Patterns for Patchwork & Appliqué Amazon Price: $13.57 this is the top of the line in patterns.

In Patagonia (Penguin Classics) Amazon Price: $10.20 I had never heard of Bruce Chatwin before, but whilst shopping at a used book store, as I held IN PATAGONIA in my hand, my friend said: “Oh, Bruce Chatwin–he’s a great writer.” From the moment I picked this book up, I couldn’t stop reading it. The short segments worked well for me, I liked the style. I learned so much about the country, its history, and all sorts of interesting characters. This book is a great read, and I went on to read his others. Lonely Planet Trekking in the Patagonian Andes Amazon Price: $13.59 For the last year I’ve been planning a trip to Chile and Patagonia. This book has helped me plan and organize and decide which areas I want to see. This book has been full of helpful information about all the different treks in this region, the difficulty rating, miles, average days specific trails will take, and great maps. Not only does the book give great info about specific treks, it also gives really great information for newer backpackers, such as a checklist of what you should bring on the trek, what kind of food to bring, how to use a compass, first aid info, etc. (Though you should know these things before you trek around Patagonia.)
