A book that I recently acquired for the purposes of giving it away.

My mood has been blah this year after some tough times and I was looking for an easy read to start getting me in the mood to travel next year, so I grabbed this off the shelf. I have a passport and love to travel, so I am not the target audience. But it was a good reminder of the many things that travel brings to my life.

This book is one of many being passed along to potential readers at the Gaithersburg Book Festival by members of BookCrossing in Washington DC (BCinDC).
