Pike Place Market ~ Seattle, Washington

I've been to Seattle several times, but my most memorable trip was when my daughter was living there; she took me on my first visit to Pike Place Market.  A farmer's market situated on Elliot Bay, it has an amazing array of food, art, handmade crafts, and restaurants.  Her boyfriend at the time worked at one of the produce stands, and they both love to cook, so needless to say we ate very well!  You must visit if you're ever in the area.  Here was one of our days there...

happy garlic vendors :)

bookstores of the world ~ Lello (#1)

I love to travel.  I love books.  So, I've decided to do some regular posts in which I share with you some of the most unique bookstores around the world.  I haven't been to Lello in Porto, Portugal - yet.  Stunning, isn't it?  When do we leave?

Toulouse-Lautrec

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's paintings of hedonistic late 19th century Paris are legendary.  He was very drawn to Montmartre, an area of Paris known for its bohemian lifestyle - it was frequented by many artists, writers, and philosophers. He died tragically at only 36, but left an impressive artistic legacy.
