Some of you are well seasoned travellers, others are more comfortable in their own backyards, (so to speak)...
this leads me to ask, where is your favourite place in the world?
For those who speak better in pictures rather than script, you know what to do!
I'm not going to steal anyone's thunder, so I'll let you start this one, and maybe I'll join in later, unless of course I am challenged, giggle

Are you making reference @JubileeJohnson, to 'being 37 and driving through Paris with the wind in my hair'? Am I right @Alessandra? Do a get a set of free steak knives too, hee hee?

Sorry karma, my fault - far too oblique. Actually a better guess than my clue, but I was 31, and on foot.
It relates to a character in one of Terry Prachett's Discworld series of books - Stanley Howler:
"Raised by peas (no further explanation is given), Stanley has a tendency towards obsessive behaviour, coupled with violent incidents when under stress. He used to be one of the more obsessive of Ankh-Morpork's large number of pin collectors (called 'pinheads'), to the point that all the other collectors thought he was "a bit weird about pins". Fortunately his liking for pins can be used to calm him down from his, as called in the books, 'Little Moments'."
Terry Pratchett is one of the only fiction authors I read. Or at least, one of the only ones I enjoy reading.
All the characters in his books are quite mad (caveat - I don't mean to offend anyone - they are my kind.

@Alessandra1992 @Neb
Ladies? ass-u-me that you are aware of Tom Holt.
If not, I think you would both enjoy.
The J.W. Wells & Co. series should be read in order.
