Description: After thirty-five legendary years at the helm of the University of Notre Dame, the Reverend Theodore M. Hesburgh turned away from his daily obligations as university president and set his sights on something altogether different: the freedom and adventure of exotic journeys throughout the world.

Whether it's around the world on the QE 2, across the continental divide in an RV, or through the wilds of the Amazon on a riverboat, readers will be drawn to Father Ted's adventures and his intimate view of retirement as the beginning of freedom and the launching of new modes of useful service.

It's a book about totally changing one's ordinary lifelong way of living without coming apart at the seams. It's about enjoying not dreading retirement. And yes, it's about stopping.

Stopping, at long last, to smell the roses.
