Another beautiful day in England
Motoring in England & Dealing with the SatNav
A Trip to Booktown
Well yesterday was a long day but really neat. We drove into a town just across the border into Wales. Hay-on-Wye has this magnificent book festival besides being known as “The Town of Books” since it has so many bookstores. After checking out the children’s section at the festival (and finding lots of cool books for my classroom) we wandered the town. It was raining (finally some english weather) but we were fine since we were given an umbrella at the festival. Besides books I did manage to pick up a replacement for my Tilley hat. The things are indestructible but that doesn’t help much when you misplace it. I’ve posted a bunch of pictures on Flickr, but all I can say is it was a wonderful day.
One observation I have made as I search for the culture that brought about the Mini is- There are just so many of them over here! If you don’t own a Mini (or didn’t at one time) you knew someone who did. It was the British “Model T” the car everyone had. While the numbers are increasing in the states, you can’t turn a corner without seeing at least one Mini or MINI. For the uninitiated you may notice that I type Mini or MINI which in type distinguishes the old Mini from the newer MINI. There are many diehard Mini Geeks out there who hate, loathe, etc. the new MINI (now 7+ years since the first one was built). But yesterday was for the book geek in me. I spent way too much, but ended up with what I hope will be some gems for my classroom.
