May 16, 2017 Book of the Week — Land Forms and Air Currents

“The coastline dances along the main highway, sometimes following the road’s straight-line lead, then moving in and away in a jitterbug step, twice dipping under a stretch of bridge —
a tango flourish”

“On a map the shore’s edge is a fixed line. But in reality she’s a ballerina, gliding, then rising on her toes with the tide.”

May all your summer road trips be just as lively.
