    Ah! You caught me :-) . I was being lazy and didn’t include the locations (lazy? more like exhausted…I just got back from a weekend away full of camping and cooking and concerts and playing with youth kids–yes, I have a rad job–and let me tell you–I am NOT as young as I imagine I am). However, if you click on the links that say “go here and here” you’ll be able to see the locations. ;-)

    Those are beautiful and inspiring. I’d love to walk through each of them and just smell the bookiness.

    We should start our world adventure right after we tour the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal…..

    HA! Jeanette, you made me laugh out loud. And, yes, fabulous idea. I’ve often said I should do a girl trip where a bunch of us females travel Europe and eat and read and eat and eat. Right after Harry Potter World… Amen.

    I would really love to just spend an entire day perusing through a bookstore, library, or any other place where a person sits behind the counter and frequently uses the phrase “SHHHHHHHHhhhhh……” in all its sacredness. In fact – I would like that job ;-) . These pictures are tempting me into a career change.

    I had a great weekend hanging out with family and sleeping in, and watching movies. Good times. Shhhhhhhh……

    Margo, you made me laugh. That can be your contribution to world peace: “Shhhhh…” I love it :-) . Also, I decided I would like to walk through these with a latte in hand. So inevitably our conversation would sound like this: “Sluuuuuurrrrrp.” “Shhhhh….” “Sluuuurrrrrp.” “Shhhh…”
