browsing a bookshop

Marcel visits Edinburgh with Anna, sees the castle and Bobby’s grave, meets Raphael for coffee, and has dinner with Raphael and Marion.

I expected to like Edinburgh more than I did. The people were great, but the city just didn’t have the right vibe for me.

Marcel enjoys tea, a botanical garden stroll, a farmers market, a bookshop, and vegetarian haggis with companions.

I later discovered that Waterstones is just the starting point. There are so many incredible bookshops in the UK. What a paradise!
