To the OP. I just love the library hut idea. What a great concept!! I have never heard of that in a subdivision before. I'd love to have one where I live.

Today is a rare, cool rainy summer day in northeast Texas. In fact, it's 10 am and it's an amazing 72F (22C). My gosh, I feel like I need to get out in this even though it's raining!

Love Charleston. I've been a few times but not since 1999. Haven't been to Savannah yet.

Good! I think I will take a trip to Naantali next week. Been living for several years just 10 km away from it, and have never visited the city. I've heard it's stunning in summer.

Won't visit the Moomin world though. Only taking pictures, visiting the coast restaurants for a beer and eating at a kebab place. Typical Finnish road trip, except I'm taking the bus.

Had a boozy weekend at the camping grounds there. Really nice. First time in my live I saw a fox only 2 meters from me. I enjoyed my time there.

Also: Screw Moomin World We didn't go there as well. (Edit: just a joke. I'm sure it's an awesome experience for the kids. especially when they grew up with the stories)

Spent the last few days on the Isle of Iona visiting our daughter who is on staff there. It was drizzly and cloudy and didn't take any pics but this one is from last May. Was up a high hill looking down on the Abbey of Iona.

Trip to Naantali (with a 10% chance that the last picture was taken in Pargas/Parainen; can't really tell by how they are arranged in iPhoto and I can't remember where it was taken...)



View from the camping grounds.



Naantali's church.



Restaurant at the harbour.



Side street.



Either Naantali or Parainen

And what would I do there? I don't have kids, and the Mörkö character is still a bit scary.

The first one can be from anywhere, but the next two are definitely from Naantali, the third possibly as well. Most likely, as it's a pedestrian street and narrower than the standard. The last one can again be from anywhere, very indistinctive.

And you spoiled the pictures I MEANT to take!
