book report – 15 mar 2016
This week, I finished Where by Kit Reed. What a bizarre book. I don’t even know if I liked it or not. I added Afoot & Afield Atlanta: A Comprehensive Hiking Guide by Marcus Woolf to my list. I probably won’t “read” it, but just see how he information compares to my other Atlanta hiking

On Sunday afternoon, after my Sunday morning walk in Paris, I made my way to the train station. The machine wouldn’t take my credit card (not surprising – our stupid US cards will move to chip and pin eventually…. been saying that for 15 years now). I finally made my way onto a train —
