#6 The Book Garden, Wickford RI

The Book Garden in Wickford Rhode Island is a lovely used book store. Our niece Megan suggested it and it made for perfect day trip. I picked up a hardcover copy Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris for seven bucks. If you haven't read any Sedaris you are missing out - his reflections on life are quirky and poignant and just plain funny. I never really think about going to used book stores but as Megan pointed out - if you get involved in a series, a used book store is a perfect place to pick up earlier books in the series.

We had a delicious lunch at The Beach Rose Cafe (www.beachrosecafe.com). Fish and chips for Suann and me and a lobster roll for Megan. Why didn't I get a lobster roll? Put simply - it had been altered with mayonnaise, celery and the like. That's not a lobster roll in my book, that's lobster salad.
