The Friends of the Dover Public Library are pleased to present a delightful travelogue program entitled “A Canal Boat Holiday in England” by Dover resident Wen Houle on Tuesday, February 21 at 7pm in the Lecture Hall.
Wen recently had the pleasure of going to England for the first time and joining a women's excursion trip on a narrowboat. Renting such a vessel and cruising on the canals and rivers of England's countryside is a popular vacation for both the English and tourists alike. In fact, some people live on these boats! Cruisers may set their own (slow) pace, operate the locks, and moor anywhere along the route to explore the quaint towns (and pubs of course) alongside the British waterways. Although it was a working trip, it was an educational and fun experience for the whole group and Wen’s talk and accompanying slides will cover all the highlights of her trip.
Wen Houle was born in Taiwan, and lived in Montreal, Canada before settling in New England. She has a B.S. in Mathematics and Biology from Boston College and an MBA from the University of New Hampshire. She works at the Center for International Education at UNH.
This program is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact the Dover Public Library at 603-516-6050.
