heathersfour's User Profile - Atlas Obscura

heathersfour

I love the obscure. if a sign says biggest ball of yarn, it gets added to my detour. For years my family has laughed at me on vacations. then a year ago, Mike found Atlas Obscura in a book store and bought it for me for Christmas. Normally he gets me a book every year, somewhere I want to travel so I can read all about it, but this book was special!!! Update: Atlas Gastro Obscura!!! Add the wonderful to the mystical and the combination is purrrfect. We really love to ride to different food sources and I always search out the locals foods, but this is beyond magical. Thank you for next level. 2022---I travel to the biggest ball of twine.
