Quarter Note Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Oh, I'm inspired to go to all of these places! One more that hasn't been mentioned yet: I'd love to do a Heidi trip to Switzerland. It would probably be very hard to come home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eos Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Dd and I walked past the Hotel Cornavin in Geneva where Professor Calculus stays in Tintin. the famous Cornavin Hotel. It has become very popular in Switzerland.The mythic room of Professor Calculus hasn't always existed. Indeed the room number 122 has been built in 1999 during the Hotel renovation.However the key of this room has been often stolen but inside of this new styled bedroom, no Tintin decoration have been made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I haven't read the books but the 68 Rooms books are based on the Thorne miniature rooms at the Art Institute of Chicago. The Wright Three (and others of hers) by Blue Balliett is set in Chicago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First, visit the Tenement Museum - you have to book a tour in advance - and then do a Big Apple walking tour of the Lower East Side, and I suggest their tasting tour. And the Met of course for the From the Mixed up files of… DD and I are reading My Family and other animals and I will try to take her to Corfu this summer. we actually lived in “an old house in Paris that was covered in vines” (well, turned into three apartments but still) DS spotted some Narnia related stuff in Oxford but DD has not read those books. she did enjoy the HP Edinburg tour esp the cemetery. Bit darker but DS read First they killed my father and then we visited the genocide memorial in Cambodia. if anyone has ANY safari/Tanzania/Rwanda setting books can you hit me up?

busymama7 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 The little red lighthouse in NYC from The Little Red Lighthouse and the Great Gray Bridge We did five and a row and loved that book. We made a once in a lifetime trip to NYC when my son was 10 and it was the only thing he wanted to see. Good memories 😍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
