Capitol Hill Book Store

Wow! What a place. It's a house turned store (like most historic residents in parts of DC) filled with book shelves. Extremely disorderly, but that's what added character. All sections were marked off by handmade signs, and books were arranged on shelves of all shapes and sizes.

- the language section was in the bathroom
- the business closet

I could have walked out of there with hundreds, but I chose to limit myself to three. I will definitely visit again, but for now I have some reading to catch up on!

$27 for the 3 below - not bad!

In a Sunburned Country

Bill Bryson certainly knows how turn ordinary encounters to a story. Quirky, funny and educational, "In a Sunburned Country" is an unexpectedly fast read. Bryson gives insight to many of Australia's known - and unknown - wonders, and makes you want to book the next flight to the land down under.

Stoked for my visit - 9 days and counting!
