Why Go There?

Why Go There? takes readers on unusual tours to nineteen very different countries -- from Easter Island's Rapa Nui festival to the military rooms that were carved out inside the Rock of Gibraltar; from Panama's mola-makers on a small San Blas island to conversations with the people in Newfoundland who welcomed the passengers stranded there during the 9/11 crisis.
World traveler Carole J. Gariepy includes more than two hundred photos with her Why Go There? stories, helping readers feel like they are taking the journey too -- and hopefully, they too will gain understanding, acceptance, and caring for people of other cultures as Gariepy has from her travels.
