Places I Love

This might be a lazy way to blog, but I’ve been thinking lately about places I love and I thought I’d share a few of them with you. These are all places I’ve been, so the pictures are mine. I’d love to hear about places you love, so share, okay?

This one is too easy, but honestly, Paris is right at the top of my favorite places list—it was at the top before I ever got to go. Paris didn’t disappoint, it was wondrous! I’d go back in a heartbeat!

This is a castle that we stopped at along the way to Killarney in Ireland. So amazing! There are abandoned and broken-down castles all over Ireland.  We got to tour several that were open as museums and that was fascinating, but to see them along the road, just like we see old barns in the United States, well, that was surreal!

This is the beach at Saugatuck, Michigan, one my favorite places in the world! I think I got my love of Lake Michigan from my mom, who adored it and took us camping there almost every weekend when I was kid. My next two novels take place in Michigan. I go up there every chance I get!

This view of our lake (where our cottage is) is taken from the back of the boat. I love our lake and all the fun we have there. And…I love this little sun deck on the back of the boat—it’s a great place to read and take a nap when we anchor in a cove for lunch.

This is Whyte Horse Winery, a winery in Indiana that I absolutely love. Fabulous wine and a beautiful old house that they’ve turned into a tasting room. They even have outdoor tables for picnics.

So, tell me some of your favorite places and if you enjoyed this little travelogue, let me know. Maybe we’ll do another one soon.
