Hi. What's happening?
Great taste in books
Hello,Thanks for the answer to my questions.I do agree with you in how literature draw us out of our places of origins and open our eyes to an unimaginable array of experiences and alternative views if not realities.I surely will accept your explination regarding choices we made and how they impacted those around us and those we care about. I too, made choices that I knew were difficult for those closest to me to accept. Today, and for the past 11 years my home is E.C. Wisconsin, a long ways from the native island of the Dominican Republic. I love my culture and native country but there are so many places to see, so many people to get to know. I am currently regrouping after a long deployment to Iraq and sensing that is time to move, Powell Wyoming is in my sights. At least for a two year period, them overseas Portugal perhaps. I need to observe the U.S. from the outside for a while.Duarte is the name my parents choose for me. Some hispanic countries use it as a last name, and is of Portuguese Origins. Don't know the meaning, I really would like to find out.Leila is a beautiful name, is it Arabic?Tell me, where did your travels take you?Any interesting experiences that you would like to share?I enjoy travel so much that since little I pictured myself as a "Vaga-mundo" .My quotations book collection is not online, but that is a great idea that I might at upon.Take Care,Duarte M. Cespedes
Thanks for responding to my previous note. I enjoy reading the quote from Bertrand Russell. I'll have to check his writings. Enjoy your readings and ate logo.
