Although I have not read this book yet, it sounds very engaging since I spent most of my adult life looking for the "ideal retirement place to live". For my American/British parents after a life spent in the Far East it was Australia. For me, after a life of exploring Mexico, it turned out to be Guatemala in coffee finca country outside an old Spanish colonial town. I always look for the unexpected place to go...I expect this book offers that.....
hi i loved your book " A walk in the woods" do you have any favorite books
After reading "The Lost Continent", I probably wouldn't take Mr. Bryson's travel advice. Not from a guy who spent most of his time while writing that book, mostly behind the wheel, or, when he did get out of the car, in cheap motels, drinking beer and watching TV and eating candy bars; usually all at the same time!

Thats exactly why I would take Bill Bryson's advice. He is so down to earth and parallels my type of travelling...
