Literary Trip Part 1

Do you all remember those first-week-of-school assignments? The teacher would say "write about something you did this summer."

My blog today is to tell you about the wonderful literary voyage my sister and I took in August.

We were in search of places where the author Louise Penny set some of her mystery series featuring Inspector Gamache.


First stop - the town which served as the model for the Village of Three Pines - Town of Lake Brome (Knowlton).

We wandered the town, past the mill pond, and soaked up the small town atmosphere. We had a lovely lunch at Cafe Floral.

Next to the library, was the treasure of a book store - Brome Lake Books.

It was a pleasure to meet the owners, Danny and Lucy, and pick up our autographed copies of "Bury your dead" by Louise Penny. 

Of course, books about whales and moose for the grandsons were also purchased.

 

Imagine our surprise when we saw a Quebec police car out in the parking lot - was our Inspector close by?
