Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
After a visit to the state capitol and much needed lunch Keltin and decided that we liked Congress Ave. Walking down it a bit we came across South Congress Books. Neither of us can pass up a used books store and wondering in was instinctual. The shop is small and was quite crowded. Each section

Title: The Kingdom of CopperAuthor: S.A. ChakrabortyPublication Date: 2019Publishing House: HarperCollins The Kingdom of Copper is the second book in The Daevabad Trilogy after The City of Brass.

Keltin and I were starving after we reached Fredericksburg and after checking in we decided to stop in at a local burger joint that we had seen on the drive in. Alamo Springs Cafe isn’t exactly in the middle of nowhere but there are a couple of miles between in and the next nearest restaurant.
