Leaving Luna: Two Women, Two Bikes, Europe in a Year
I was so fortunate . . . to come across the post card, a little note about this book announcing the fact that it was just published.    I read the book, it was so fabulous and I was really, really impressed with the kinds of things they have done with their lives. --Terry Busch, President, Idaho Life Long Learning AssociationThe two women were working as principals in prison high schools in Idaho when both decided they were ready for a change.  They didn't just dream about about abandoning the drudgery of daily life to seek adventure in a foreign land, they did it.      They asked for a leave of absence from their jobs, but they were denied their request.  This wouldn't deter their plans, however . . . so, they quit their jobs, sold their homes and most of their belongings, and took off: two women, two bikes, a tent, minimal supplies . . .     The book contains many of the memories of both Borden and Richardson detailing time spent in each country, the people they met and the things they learned. --Trena Tegan, Times-News, Twin Falls, IdahoThrough the wind and rain, flat tires and fatigue . . . the liberation they felt overpowered their desire to stop.  As they look back on their adventure--biking thousands of miles hauling 65 pounds of gear across 15 Western European countries--there's no regret, just change. --Kathryn Richert, Sunday Enterprise, Broomfield, Colorado
