Faraway Friends

About the Book

Azerbaijan, Sakartvelo, Cameroon, United Arab Emirates, and Kuwait—what do these countries have in common? Simple. Aloha visited friends in each of these exotic destinations! A person rich in friendships is truly wealthy! Although Aloha’s pocketbook is thin from her travels and generous donations, she counts herself among the richest of people with many sidekicks—some who happen to live in faraway places. What did Aloha think when Josephine told her she had two hundred brothers and sisters? Or about the commuter who flies regularly between Angola and Baku? Did the wounded pheasant really emerge cured from the hot springs? Which country built three separate parallel highways only a few miles apart all going to the same place? Where is the world’s largest dhow? Are chicken feet tasty? With nearly a hundred country stamps in her passport, Aloha continues to circumnavigate the globe, sampling the food, the culture, the sites, and most of all, mingling with the people. Journey with her to little-known regions as she continues to be a student of the world!
