Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. But I’d happily be here than not to be.

We took a day trip to the small port town of Helsingor which is the location of Castle Kronburg - the inspiration for Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

What a highlight as the displays depicting the castle’s history were top notch. Super special was a group if actors which performed short skits throughout the day based on Hamlet.

Highly recommend!

I fell in love with Pittsburgh. For a city to honor their beloved neighbor, Fred Rogers, in such beautiful ways really shows what a community values.

If you find yourself in this beautiful city check out

1. The home where he lived in Squirrel Hill (h/t to @realneonlady for this advice!)

2. Memorial statue (near the Steelers Stadium)

3. The exhibit in the Heinz History Center @historycenter

4. Eat at the Capitol Grille and request the table by the Fred Rogers painting as well as Wendy to be your server. by @readfarandwide

🚗🚗🚗. We’ve been road tripping for a few weeks and although physical books take up space…. Sometimes I just gotta have them as fellow travelers instead of my ebook. It’s been so nice to have a book stack to work through and I’ve found myself having such fun with historical fiction on these travels.

How about you? Do you like ebooks, physical books, both while traveling? by @readfarandwide

It is no wonder why some of the greatest stories ever told are set in Paris. My niece and I had such a wonderful time creating memories in Paris which will be stories we tell for years to come
