Cape Cod - Part 4 - Parnassus Book Service , Yarmoth Port

We lived fairly close to the Cape when I was a little girl. We went often and stopped at Parnassus Book Service near every time. It is charming and the owner is kind and helpful. You walk in only to be surrounded by stacks and stacks of books shelved to the ceiling, in crates on the floor, and in the backroom if you are brave enough to peek. If you are there before or after hours, you can still shop. On the side of the building under the green awnings you will find paperbacks for a dollar and hardbacks as marked. Pick your treasures, slip the appropriate amount of money under the front door, and be on your way.



The Back Room

To the Ocean

After a quick stop at school this morning, Mr. B&B and I are off to Cape Cod for a short respite. I love the Cape always, but there is something hauntingly magical about it in the "off season". We'll be strolling the beach, visiting the Parnassus Book Service, and perusing antique stores including this one. We will be eating incredible vegan breakfasts prepared by Ann and David at The Shady Hollow Inn. Just thinking about it releases endorphins!

Speaking of hauntingly magical, check out Jake Snider's song "To the Ocean" on YouTube. His website is here. His bio is here. MP3's, streaming MP3's and YouTube links here.

Hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Weekend where ever you may be, whatever your plans, no matter your relationship status.

See you Monday with pictures and a weekend recap!
