On Tuesday I did a lot of walking. I had to get Akira out of the room so housekeeping could take care of their business. We went for a short hike in our new neighborhood. I love that I have a library, a trader joe's and a great coffee shop all within walking distance. The downside=no Target. I mean it exists, but nowhere near me. Nothing like Atlanta where you couldn't turn around without bumping into a Target. Also...there aren't very many chain stores...which is different in a good way. After returning to my temporary lodgings and depositing a worn out dog, I headed back out and up the hill a bit. Keith told me about a bookstore since I finished the book I brought with me and was in need of something new. I didn't find the one he told me about, but I did discover Mercer Street Books and found quite a few treats mostly consisting of oldies but goodies. Am I the only one that reads old books over and over the way one would watch a classic movie? I wonder.
Once Keith came home he and I made another trek up the hill to visit Blockbuster and rent Sunshine Cleaning which I've heard really good things about. I also rented Obsessed which I almost didn't cop to, but hey, I'll keep it real. We had Thai for dinner at a little restaurant called Phuket...the Tom Kah soup was heavenly...the pad thai was meh and a little too spicy for my taste.
I took today off as my allergies have been causing me a great deal of problems and the medication I take for it leaves me feeling lethargic. Tomorrow I plan to visit Monkey Love rubber stamps and Hilltop Yarn. I promise to share my discoveries.

looks fantastic! and target delivers :) you'll enjoy the things within walking distance so much more. miss that about living in a city.
How exciting is to be in a new environment and discover everything around you. Little independent shops??? You're in heaven! Keep us posted France!
I am enjoying so much following you around the country. I like your new home--at least what I know through your blogging, I haven't ever been there and have always wanted to--wish I could join you at one of those local places, I could use a nice talk with France these days.
