Thanks for the mention. Doggone, you’ve just given me a day full of time twiddling with all those good reads. I wonder if I’ll ever get back to work.

Lebanon and the Left Bank of Paris both sound enticing. I’ll also have to visit Justin Wright’s blog to figure out why he is enchanted with Florida, hopefully he’ll give me some insight into the place that I have — up to now — been missing out on.
Good list Erica!

I bet Lebanon is a country on many travellers’ to-visit lists. As is Paris. Vera’s book review totally made me want to read “Piano Shop of the Left Bank”.
And thanks… Hope you’ll like Justin’s blog as much as I do!
