Had fun in Scotland with my son....cold and rainy, but very quaint.
We saw The Elephant House....the restaurant where J. K. Rowlings sat to begin her Harry Potter series and the castle that was in the Harry Potter movie...Hogwarts....was also there.

We saw everything in the back of the book that is on the map. We followed the map...the only place that was difficult to find was Nuria Monfort's apartment...we took over an hour to find it....it was in a secluded courtyard and was beautiful. Barcelona is a beautiful city. It was sooooo fun.
The map was perfect. We saw the store where Daniel's father bought the pen, we saw the street where the Cemetery of Forgotten Books was, we saw the statue of Columbus, we ate in a restaurant called Nuria's, and there is a toy store there called Monfort's....my son and I figured Zafon put those two names together to get the character's name.
Oh..and we walked down Las Ramblas...it is a wide street that has vendors on both sides.
I had so much fun...that was my favorite trip.]]>
