A moveable feast-

"If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast."

Ernest Hemingway created a beautiful metaphor with that quote- a movable feast. Paris is the kind of place that stays with you and becomes a part of you. As the hours count down to our departure- 4:30 in the AM esshh!- my thoughts are on that beautiful city. I can't wait to just be there- experiencing it and taking it all in. So stayed tuned readers! The adventure will continue south tomorrow!

Today we visited the famous Platform 9 3/4 at King's Cross station. When traveling with a bunch of future librarians- this becomes a mandatory stop on the tour. We definitely held up the line a bit while each of us got our photo in but it was worth it! It's wonderful to see the inspirations and sights of great literature.

After pleasing the book nerd in all of us- we went on the enormous British Library. We are now all proud owners of our library cards and we had a chance to see some of the most valued treasures in their collection. The library has some 180 million copies of books so there wasn't really time to see everything but I did like the Treasure Room with all the featured pieces.
