I was determined to share a snapshot of our newly opened (nearly a year behind schedule -- welcome to Hawaii) Whole Foods Market today. Unfortunately, after just 5 minutes of being jostled and nudged around in the 'busting at the seams' crowded store I was so overwhelmed I had to just get out. To settle my nerves, I strolled down the street to my favorite book store, Bookends. I find it cozy that every flat surface and, in the case, lots of the floor space is covered and/or piled high with books. The entire store is a jumble of books everywhere with their own method of organization. It's enticing maze-like atmosphere reminds me a little of The Shakespeare & Company in the Latin Quarter of the 5th arrondissement of Paris. Plus, they don't mind people sitting down amongst the stacks to peruse the books.
