Join us as local Pete Walker presents 2 Travelogues at the
Meadows Valley Public Library on Thursday, May 9th
4:00 – 5:30pm – A Tour of Eastern Europe
This presentation is a tour of Poland, the Baltic countries and Russia. These countries have all experienced relatively recent complex and tumultuous history that should not be forgotten. The video travelogue attempts to portray how tenacious and strong-willed the people are with the rebuilding of their lives and cities after so much repression. It is only since 1991 that Poland and the Baltic countries gained their independence and freedom. We hope you can join us and witness how proud and thankful these people are of their freedom and their beautiful countries.
6:30 – 8:00pm – Colors of the Desert – India
This travelogue starts in western India. We visit forts and palaces from the Mughal era, including the Taj Mahal and many interesting street scenes, many that tourists never get to. Then we are off for north central India and Varanasi on the Ganges River, one of the holiest cities for Hindus and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities of the world. We will observe Mother Ganges being put to bed and being woken up. Throughout the entire trip there are numerous impromptu stops where we see something interesting which leads us to learn much about the vast variety of living conditions and cultures of this intriguing country.
These programs are free to attend, and all ages are welcome. There is no need to sign-up, but as a courtesy to the speaker, please arrive on time. For more information, contact the library at (208) 347-3147 or [email protected]
