Maps

Whenever we go to a foreign city, I use Map Easy Maps to acquaint myself with the city we are going to and then use it often as we walk around the city itself.  They are folded, smashed, circled and marked up by the time we are finished.  

I like them because they show landmarks, restaurants, and shopping.  They do not show every little street, mostly the main streets and the bigger ones in between the main streets. They even show McDonalds (my family always teases me because I have to eat at McDonald's at least once on vacation, it's just that little taste of home)!  

 Recently, I got the bright idea to frame them.  I LOVE them.  (Sorry for the glare.) Custom framing is not a cheap proposition, I waited until Joann's had a 60% off sale and got three maps framed.  I might do one more depending on where we decide their final home will be.  For now, I have these two (London & Paris) in my bedroom and

this one of Venice in my master bathroom along with some watercolors we bought in Venice.  I'm thinking about putting all three stacked on one another above the couch or in the dining room, but I have to say, I love looking at them every night before bed.
