All Aboard

Today's bookmark comes from reader Lou Ann:

She writes: "I found a ferry ticket stub from Tangiers to Algeciras, dated 06.11.02. I'm in Pennsylvania and found it in a used copy of Bill Bryson's "Mother Tongue." It's kinda exciting to find something so exotic, especially because that ferry was often used by so many of my favorite authors like Truman Capote, Tennessee Williams, etc while they lived in Europe."
