back from the U.P.

_00:18

I’m back from the wonderful U.P. - As you’ll see with pictures in the near future - I had a great time and couldn’t have ask for anything else other than more time. The stories that have come together and the people I’ve met will forever be a memory of mine.

While walking around Marquetteís downtown area we came across a store named “Snowbound Books”. Snowbound Books was obviously a bookstore but much more once you walked in. It was filled with books from the floor on up and no room for anything else.

There were new books but mostly old ones and the classics were readily available for the taking. With the average price of $2.50 for a book you had no problem sifting through them all.

I ended up buying one of the newer ones called “How to Build a Time Machine”. For those of you that know me I’ve had somewhat of an infatuation with Time Travel. Ever since it was published in a Popular Science magazine I’ve tried to absorb anything that made reference to the subject.

So my time up North was more than I could have asked for and I even got to bring home a small piece of it in a book that will forever represent this time in my life.
