Booking Through Thursday

1. Have you ever wanted to travel to a place described in a book?

   Yes. Lots of times.

2. Have you ever ACTUALLY travelled to a place because of the way it was described in a book?

   Rome. Florence. Maine. Lots of places in England. DeSmet, SD.

3. And if so, did it live up to the expectations, feelings, emotions you expected from the book? Did you feel like Anne was going to come romping around the corner of Green Gables? Was it as if Jo was upstairs at Orchard House, scribbling on a story? Or was it just a museum, or just a city street? Like Abbey Road without the Beatles?

   I don't actually get all worked up about stuff usually, but touring the Surveyor's House in DeSmet was pretty exciting. I always get a charge riding the Tube in London. It actually seems like I have a closer connection to a story once I can picture it (having been there).
