Swashbuckling cures the blues
“Promised Land”.
Cover for the Thanksgiving issue of The New Yorker, by Christoph Niemann, 2011. I want this guy’s book…
Another benefit to being off Facebook…
As a sometimes anti-phone introvert, I like it when Facebook friends can’t tell I’m home because there are no more instant reports of me liking something, saying something, or posting something. *Internet stealth mode on*
Next fantasy travel destination: Bangkok, Thailand. Pricey to get there (about $1,300) but very cheap to stay in and eat. Great single-room hostel for $13/night: Khaosan Baan Thai, Travelers’ Choice 2013 Award Winner, Bargain category! :-)
