It is with great pleasure that we are able to feature a poetic Travel Story as the second entry in this year's competition. You may remember that Syd Blackwell livened up the 2016 Travel Highlights competition with three poems. I hope that you enjoy his latest contribution as much as I have. To read it please click here.
Syd Blackwell
I lived in British Columbia, Canada´s western province, for most of my life. I was a teacher, and a college employee (various roles - instruction, recruitment, promotion, counselling, research), before re-inventing myself as an innkeeper. I designed and had built my B&B inn in Revelstoke, which I operated for nine years. At age 60, my wife and I retired to Uruguay, where we have lived for more than a decade. Innside Stories is my first published book. I have extensive writing experience in Canada, and in Uruguay, I wrote 75 articles for a now defunct online magazine called Ola Uruguay. We live in Villa Argentina, a suburb of Atlántida, on the coast of Uruguay. We have five dogs.
