20 Entrances That Are Clearly Gateways To Narnia. The Sylvia Beach Hotel. This winter I finally made it somewhere I’ve wanted to visit for a long time: The Sylvia Beach Hotel.

You might be excused for thinking Sylvia Beach is a place—the hotel does overlook a long and wide swath of damp sand with crashing waves. But Sylvia Beach is not a beach, Sylvia Beach is a person. She was the founder of Shakespeare & Company, the legendary English language bookstore in Paris. Knowing this will set the stage for all you might experience if you ever drive along the Oregon Coast and stop in the town of Newport to stay at the Sylvia Beach Hotel. This is a place for book lovers. The building itself is an old hotel that had run down on its luck when it was purchased, twenty-five years ago, by two childhood friends who decided to revive the building as a different sort of hotel.

When Goody Cable and Sally Ford bought the now 100 year-old building, they asked friends to help decorate the rooms in the style of their favorite authors.

We have been to this popular resort for a number of years and I love the wonderful beach architecture. I live to paint but I also like t take photographs. There are a lot of huge homes at this resort. I like the designs found in the small homes as well as the large ones. My paintings have been seen throughout the United States in national, international, and group shows. My best-selling print, "Reaching Out", was selected from over three million works of art on Fine Art America to be on the set of The Mindy Project and I appeared with my artwork on The Hour of Joy on FoxTV out of Roanoke on March 10th 2013 episode 5.

I live to paint and it is important to me to find homes for all of my creations. Interior Design, Architecture and Contemporary Homes Magazine. - StumbleUpon. - StumbleUpon.

- StumbleUpon. Pacific Northwest: bicycles, bookshops, weirdness and coffee. One hundred and fifty years ago the Pacific Northwest was a wooded anarchy.

Inhabited by thwarted goldrush castoffs – crazed land-dwelling pirates – and a still sizable Native American population. The Oregon Trail, a perilous hike across thousands of miles – and two icy mountain ranges – was often a one-way proposition, and appealed mainly to the desperate and the crazy. For a long time, the Pacific Northwest (NW to residents) was even wilder than most of the wild west. Now, we're very civilised. The culture has an almost Scandinavian bearing.

Why I love ugly cities: Santa Marta. Day 187: Santa Marta, Colombia Taganga was hot, humid and full of people that wanted to rob me so I had to get out.

I hadn’t heard many good things about Santa Marta. It was only 15 minutes away but everyone said it was basically a dump and the only reason to visit was as a jumping off point elsewhere. After a quick Wikitravel search I found out seafood was plentiful and that was reason enough to stay. I headed to a corner that is so well known for its fish soup it sells out by noon daily.
