The Third Tower Up from the Road

The Third Tower Up from the Road: Kevin Dolgin tells you About Places You Should Go, by Kevin Dolgin

Summary
A short collection of essays about travels the world over, though mostly in Europe. Written in a wry sneaky style with little effort made to be a travel guide and lots of effort made to write in some detail about some very small overlooked element of a usually well-known destination. The world's oldest standing Ferris wheel in Vienna, for example. Or the statue of Frank Zappa in Vilnius Lithuania.

Reaction
Fun. Entertaining. Whimsical. Inspiring of a certain amount of wanderlust. Uninformative.
