You are very kind - let's wait and see. Hey, I can also recommend many other good Spain-related books: have any of you read any of Jason Webster's books? "Duende", "Andalus" and "Guerra" ... they are all excellent ...
Thanks so much, pedmar. I never got the message from my publisher but I had seen your note on the message board and wanted to join in. I once visited Versailles on a school trip (years ago) and loved it. It is a beautiful place. Keep smiling!

You never know. Either way, you'll have fun in Madrid! Thanks again.

I am going to have to pick up that book by Tim Parfitt soon as everyone seems to love it. In meantime, I am reading " Travels With My Donkey " by Tim Moore. I am really enjoying it as he has some great descriptions of the landscape and the life of a peregrino, and some of his anecdotes are really funny. I always tell myself that one of these days I'll walk the Camino (or at least part of it...) but until then I'm happy to read entertaining travelogues such as this one. See this thread for another recommendation of this book by Booklady.

The last few times I was in Borders Books I did look for it, but it wasn't in the store or even available to order through them, at least according to the in-store computer. I am just going to have to order it through Amazon, and once I read it I will be sure to let you know how much I like it!
