the savvy traveller
at some point while carol & i were walking around michigan avenue, we went into a store called the savvy traveller. they have all kinds of goodies for traveling, such as passport cases, rick steves’ travel gear, and travelsox to prevent against blood clots on long flights. they also have travel-related items and gifts, like globes and travel chopsticks. for me, the best part of the store was the myriad of maps and books—travel guides, coffee table photo books, historical books, travel accounts, novels by international authors—for every country or area imaginable. my brother practically drooled when i told him how many books they had on scandinavia. the only way i was able to leave the store without buying anything was by convincing myself that i didn’t have room in my carry-on take home whatever books i bought.
