My Outlander Obsession

Susan — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 01:06:23 +0000

I have spent the past several months living in 1700’s Scotland with a beautiful time-traveling woman, kilted clansmen, a brief stay in Paris – then on to colonial America. All of this includes page turning adventure along with an intense and passionate love story intertwined with fascinating historical facts. I am so obsessed that I am beginning to dream in gaelic.

These book are long, but I never want them to end. Next to Lord of the Rings, these are absolutely my favorite books (and that is saying A LOT!).

What a geek I am.

My best friend and I recently spent the night at the 1804 Inn at Barboursville Vineyards. Located about 20 minutes north of Charlottesville, the inn and its surroundings are steeped in history – and beauty. Needless to say, it was VERY difficult to leave.
