Also, I always thought the Beaver's was a nice cozy place, and I always dreamed of seeing Cair Paravel in it's prime, not as a ruin :)FerinyaGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03331763752156591455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605148134671900289.post-73038172903225664852009-06-14T20:15:51.582-04:002009-06-14T20:15:51.582-04:00Ian, that's so awesome!

Sort of delightful to have little revelations like that after years and years of re-reading. <br /><br />You hit all of mine. The only other ones I think I'd include are Luthe's lake and the coffeehouse in SUNSHINE. Apparently, McKinley seems to hit my comfort button every time.Angiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00353676756221692186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2605148134671900289.post-55600756032654321022009-05-29T11:54:58.339-04:002009-05-29T11:54:58.339-04:00I'll second the Gryffindor common room.
