i have a crush on rick steves.

well, after all that sun and heat this weekend,

it poured all yesterday.

so what is a girl to do but take a detour on the commute home by

pulling into a downtown parking space,

dashing through the rain and picking up a

1980's tour movie of france by the one and only rick steves?

i watched tour after tour through france

{my favorite was paris, duh.}

and dreamed about taking a fabulous vacation all over the country.

rick steves' europe on pbs was one of my

favorite tv shows when i was a kid . . .

i blame him for my perpetual travel bug.

it probably does not help that i also watched

eat.pray.love. this weekend.

oh, i know, i'm my own worst enemy.
