What could be more fun than traveling with your family in Europe for five months? Not that it was all fun. There were cold, dreary days, illness, missed connections, a stolen wallet, gypsy attacks, and lost children. But looking back, "the Splat family" - as they called themselves when they went "Splat!" - agreed that there were definitely more highs than lows. Imagine a three-ring circus in Sicily with ten ferocious lions; spring skiing in the luminous Alps; a day spent absorbing the divine inspiration of Chartres Cathedral; or a sunny picnic on the banks of Loch Ness, waiting for Nessie to appear.  North With the Spring is drawn from a family journal kept by Mom and Dad--Jim and Phaedra--and their son and daughter, Brian, age thirteen, and Sara, age ten. It's a lively, descriptive and candid story of their adventures and misadventures as they fly from New York to Madrid in January, take a train to Genoa, and then a ferry to Palermo. The plan is to hang in Sicily for a month or two, then wander north with the spring, enjoying the delights of primavera over and over as they explore Italy, the Jungfrau, then Paris, London and Scotland. It's a growing experience. The fights they have, the odd and interesting situations they encounter, their interactions with the natives and the things they learn about the world and themselves-all of these draw the "Splats" closer as a family.Phaedra Greenwood is a freelance writer, editor and photographer, and author of Beside the Rio Hondo: A Memoir of Rural New Mexico, Sunstone Press, 2007.

<p>It was a high time in Northern New Mexico. In the late 1960's and early 70's hippies in flowered buses and VW vans rolled into Taos, mostly city kids trying to “get back to the garden.” The dismayed locals called it “the hippie invasion.”This is the story of two writers who found each other in the maelstrom of the commune days. Jim Levy was breaking up with his wife Deirdre, who later became Pema Chödrön, a Buddhist nun whose books became bestsellers. Phaedra Greenwood discovered she was pregnant while living in a tool shed at forty below zero. Eventually, Jim and Phaedra settled down in an old adobe outside a small Hispanic village to raise a family. These were the golden days, but the times were a-changing. The women's movement swept in; Three Mile Island sparked No Nukes demonstrations and Watergate proved that you can't trust authority. It was time for Jim and Phaedra to test themselves in the world.A surprisingly honest and moving remembrance of the cultural upheavals in northern New Mexico in the 1970s.” Bob Bishop and Bonnie Korman“In Those Were the Days, two gifted and insightful writers reveal how, against all odds, they forge a loving relationship amidst the turbulent zeitgeist of Taos counterculture.” Michelle Potter .</p>
