๐โจ Book-Hunting with My Son at Traveler Restaurant (Union, CT) โจ๐
Spent a perfect afternoon exploring this hidden gem โ The Traveler Restaurant & Bookstore in Union, Connecticut. Itโs the kind of place where you can eat a great meal and take home free books โ whatโs not to love?
Since my training in July with the Shang, I have been searching for any information about Nagas, the Bonpo and Shen traditions and Tibetan Buddhism in general. To my surprise, I found a fascinating passage that tied together mythology, ancient civilizations, and even architecture. ๐๐ The synchronicity of stumbling on the exact kind of material I was looking for is what makes this spot so magical.
Even better? I got to share it all with my son, who happily explored the maze of shelves and found his own treasures. Swipe to see his face peeking through a stack of books โ clearly the joy of reading runs in the family. ๐โค๏ธ
If youโve never been and love quirky, off-the-beaten-path places where stories literally surround you, this oneโs worth the drive.
