‎Café Society Press 2012. Paperback. New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> McCann Karen Travel writer</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Café Society Press</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Paperback</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9780985028305</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2012</p><p><strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 244</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> Living abroad is an opportunity to reinvent yourself that rarely exists outside the witness protection program. You get to hit the reset button on your life. Karen McCann's tale of moving from Cleveland Ohio to Seville Spain is "a delightfully well-written true-life adventure story . . . McCann's writing is inviting immediately charming and constantly entertaining" says Chris Brady NY Times bestselling author of A Month of Italy. "I loved this book" wrote Lonely Planet. "I must have laughed out loud at least once in every chapter. The advice in the book is terrific." Dancing in the Fountain takes its title from one blazing hot night when the author and her husband found themselves sitting on the edge of a big stone fountain. Dabbling their feet in the cool water pretty soon they were wading then waltzing in the fountain. An old man passing by growled "Hey you two is that any way to behave You wouldn't do that back where you come from." And that's the whole point. Living overseas you get to try things you'd never do back home. Rita Golden Gelman author of Tales of a Female Nomad says "What fun. . . McCann's wacky sense of humor will have you smiling on every page. Just reading this will give you the confidence of an experienced traveler." “Creating a new life in an old European city has never been so delightful heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny†says Victoria Twead NY Times bestselling author of Two Old Fools on a Camel.</p> Café Society Press paperback‎

Dust jacket not price clipped or creased with sunning to upper edge and spine and slight rubbing to top of spine. 288pp. In 1816 the French frigate Medusa was shipwrecked off the coast of West Africa. Thus began the shipwreck scandal of the century, although the full stories only came out later, of mutiny, prolonged suffering, internecine slaughter and eventual cannibalism. As the author shows, this was not an isolated incident of human aberration but a vital pattern of human behavious under stress and a lesson for mankind in self-understanding.‎
