Destination Pop-ups

Fish Market - San Sebastian. Notice the octopus.

This month Destination Books has been on holiday in Spain and Belgium, but we are back with jetlag and inspiration from our travels.

On Thursday, September 28th we will be at the Tucker Farmers Market from 4 to 7 p.m. and on Saturday morning, September 30 we will be at the Freedom Farmer's Market at the Carter Center.

Here's a few images featuring Destination themes.

A Ghent bookstore specializing in booze and book pairings. Hmmm.

Spain and Belgium both have a big bike culture. Belgium is flat, but Spain is the most mountainous country in Europe after Switzerland.
