Reading in the car

While we're not all that excited about ending our vacation tomorrow, we're eagerly anticipating the book that we plan to start and finish during tomorrow's 16 hour drive. On the way up here, we listened to Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It's the true story of Sir Ernest Shackleton's 1914 expedition to Antarctica that went terribly wrong. He and 27 other men ended up stranded for over a year and a half in the arctic waters of the Weddell Sea. This true story is both astonishing and inspirational, and is a testament to the capabilities of the human body and mind when put to the test. If you're looking for some good summer reading, pick this one up. Or, download it from Audible and listen to it on your next road trip.
