About the Cover: Pinelander Dorothy du Plooy is back from a year long stay in Canada. Muse readers enjoyed reading about her travels in the articles on Vancouver in August 2015; and Hawaii in April 2105. This edition reveals Alaska. Being back in South Africa satisfies Dorothy's longing for family, friends and good food, but she remembers fondly the safety of the areas she lived in, the organisation - and the opportunity to travel to far flung places. Welcome home Dorothy and thank you for allowing us to be armchair travellers with you!
