Have you heard about the Newseum in Washington D.C.? The News Museum is an entire museum about news. I can't wait to visit on my next trip to the District but until then we can all enjoy a great feature on their website.
The Newseum's website provides access to the front page of over 600 newspapers from across the world in .pdf format. For a news junkie like me this is great. This evening I downloaded and customized an automator script from TUAW so that my headlines will be automatically downloaded each day, combined into a single .pdf file and delivered to my desktop. The script will also rename each file with the date and save a copy in a folder for me. I feel an art project coming on!
So today I was reviewing old photos from vacations and weekends away to pull together a coffee table book and ran across photos from almost 2 years ago in Paris.
Paris is one of my most favorite cities in the world and last year was the first year I didn't visit in almost 10 years. I miss this city so much!
A big part of not traveling abroad last year was the weak dollar as well as concern for the economy but I think I'll have to find a way to go this year. I typically like a posh hotel with all of the amentities but could definitely enjoy 'The City of Lights' on a budget if I went with more economical accommodation. Food and transportation are always a small fraction of my expenses so I will just have to find a way to reduce the shopping budget!
