SANTA ANA, Calif., June 25, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Readers of Florence Joseph Paul's book, I See the World (now available through 1stBooks) may imagine themselves side by side with her and her husband, Les, as they meet interesting people from around the world during their travels. From Barbados to Amsterdam, this book captures the unique experiences of two diehard travelers.
A simple collection of stories, this book chronicles some of the amusing and heartwarming things the Pauls encountered on their travels. Without reservations or plans, the couple would jump a plane and begin their journey. This way, the chances of interacting with natives in each a country are greater and the experiences become more culturally rich and alive. "If I want to be with all Americans (on a tour), I'd stay home," the author's husband said.
They traveled to every continent but Antarctica. From an impromptu visit to a vineyard in Southern France to an angry encounter on a train with German officials to taking part in a Jewish holiday celebration in Barbados, Paul's book captures these stories with charm and vivid detail. They are enough to make readers want to dig out their passports and see the world.
Paul has been a writer for many years. She has received multiple awards from the California Press Women and has been published internationally in over 60 magazines. She has five published books. A mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, Paul lives in Santa Ana, Calif.
