Discover why deer don’t like to be lassoed, what it’s like to drive down a mountain pass without power steering or power brakes after the engine quits, and learn what can happen when cultures clash in these stories of fun, fear, and folly. David Hann’s Bluebirds To Tikal is a travel journal, of sorts. filled with tales of adventure and misadventure from central U.S.A. to central Asia. A family traveling to Guatemala to see the Mayan ruins at Tikal encounter 'los hombres militarious' and uniformed soldiers. A sightseeing trip in Turkey meets with obstacles, courtesy, and aid from an unexpected source. A visit to the Eiffel Tower ends with eviction by security guards. An idyllic kayaking vacation in Florida turns into an expedition of courage.In addition to tales of modern travels and travails, Hann’s stories include the experiences of two young men searching for jobs as they make their way through the Northwest riding the rails before World War I; a coal miner’s dark journey in Osage County, Kansas; and the competition between two German noblewomen for the affections of a dashing cavalry officer.
