Brock House Travel Series

I have always been interested in this travel series at Brock House but since they start at 10:30 and I don't like rushing out to things in the morning as I like to read the newspaper and have my swim.  Well, that is no more for the time being.  They have been making them available via Zoom.  I started with the Oct. 26 presentation and have enjoyed them all.  

From Brock House:

Now more than ever, we have the urge to see the world and remember the time when we are able to see and visit other countries. Join John Smith, Rose Taylor and a team of photo enthusiasts as they share their travel stories through picturesque presentations from the comfort of your home.
