In June, New England’s White Mountains was named the Number One most beautiful forest in its “10 Most Beautiful Forests in the US” by Fodors. And since late May, Manchester resident and attorney Bailey Buchanan has been hiking them in the ultimate social distancing experience. She’s summited sixteen mountains there this year.
So far this year, it may feel like the fabric of life is fraying into a tangled mass. But to those who look for it, there is infinite beauty and goodness in the world. This week in “Postcards Home,” Dr. Lamb takes us on a trip to both a different place and a different time: sub-Saharan Africa in the late 1960s and early 1970s. With Dr. Lamb as our guide, we will cross deserts under clear blue skies, meet tribal woman adorned with jewels and fantastic fabrics, and learn a timeless lesson from a generous nomad that feels very apt today.

The whole trip made me feel like a teenage girl triumphantly returning from the greatest first date in recorded history. #OMG!
