But hey, no worries, I have an amazing website to share with you today. It's called Atlas Obscura and it is FULL of amazing, interesting things from around the globe.

This is from their About page:
We share
discoveries.
We are a global community of explorers, who
have together created a comprehensive database of the world’s most
wondrous places and foods —19,818 of them contributed by our community
so far, and more every day, from a secret apartment atop the Eiffel Tower to bridges built out of living roots, from a temple shaped like a chicken to an island ruled by cats, from a fruit that tastes like chocolate pudding to a spicy chutney made out of red ants.
I don't know about you, but they had me at the red ant chutney.....YUM! Seriously, this is a site to go and explore when you have some time to spend. There are wonderful photos, maps, and videos to feast on. This rabbit hole is a deep one.
Atlas Obscura also hosts events all over the country every week: " In nine U.S. cities, Atlas Obscura Societies create intimate, wondrous
experiences for our community. From back-room tours to workshops with
the world’s most remarkable people, we give our community access to the
rarest experiences."
Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. are two of the cities where events are hosted so, if you are interested, I recommend signing up to get newsletters and trip info.
And if that isn't enough they have just come out with the 2nd edition of their best selling book Atlas
By the way, we have this title in our collection. At the moment it's sitting on the new non-fiction shelf waiting for you to come check it out. What are you waiting for?
