We have nine grandchildren , and we’ve taken them along on several trips . We’ve seen some fantastic geology , both here in the U.S . and around the world , and been exposed to so many different cultures . ” The partial list of countries the Lieber - mans have visited includes Argentina , Australia , China , Costa Rica , Croatia , Egypt , France , Iceland , Italy , Japan , Laos , Mexico , Morocco , New Zealand , Peru , Scotland , Thailand , Turkey , and Vietnam . They have fond memories of almost every trip , but some stand out in memory more than others : Turkey for its culture , people , and contrast in geology ; and Antarctica for its breathtaking landscape . “ When you go to Antarctica , you’re looking at magnificent desolation , ” War - ren says . “ Magnificent desolation and penguins . ” Not every aspect of their travels has been enjoyable , of course , but Arline says even the less than pleasant parts became learning experiences . “ Some folks around the world have peculiar tastes in food , ” she says . “ At an outdoor stand in Thailand , they had a dish called jumping shrimp , where they put acid in a bowl of live shrimp . We visited a place in Iceland where they were curing shark meat , and they offered it to tourists with a shot of alcohol . Certain food and drinks become an acquired taste . ” Warren admits he has reached a point in his life where around - the - world trips are “ beyond my capabilities . ” Although his globetrotting days may have come to an end , he often shares slideshows of their trips with their fellow residents at Dunwoody Village in Newtown Square . Arline and Warren both have other passions . Over the years , they have vol - unteered their time in service to others ; he worked as a docent for the American Helicopter Museum and Education Center in West Chester , while she recorded audio books for the blind and dyslexic , and did work for Youth Aid Panels to help young people who had lost their way . In addition , he does part - time consulting work , and she paints , writes , and contributes to Dunwoody’s in - house publication . “ You have to keep learning and mov - ing , ” Arline says . “ You have to use your energy to continue to be creative . ” Warren adds , “ I agree . It’s a wonderful thing to be able to use our education n and keep ourselves busy . ” SUBURBANLIFEMAGAZINE.COM AUGUST 2021 | 73
