A little extra holiday cash

ALL COMFY AT THE MALL
This guy's position makes me hurt just looking at him. I'm sure he just hops up and walks off. Wouldn't be the case for me.

If I saw that here, I'd be browsing too!
Now I'm curious: anybody can just set up there? Or do you need to get a permit from somewhere first?
quite interesting place
It does look like they arranged the books extra neatly!
I've bought several books from these guys - tho sometimes they're not that cheap!
Nice outdoor display - I wonder how much profit they make from this. Looks kind of cold to be selling outside.
A public garage sale. What fun!
Speaking a snow angels ... my wife and I created on for our annual Christmas card a few years ago ...

have a look when you get a chance :)
We both have fountain posts today. I like the way yours is used a lot better. I would have a field day here! I'm having a wonderful time just browsing - I'll have to make a request from my aunt's relatives for some titles. My mom went to the Filosofski Fakultet to study English Lit in late 40s/early 50s & my dad went to the engineering school for Mining engineering. It's where they met. I've been meaning to dig up an old photo & ask for photo of that area now. Thanks for this post!
When I read Filosofski Fakultet on the banner of the building behind the fountain, I wondered how that related to the Cervantes Institute since they are so different.
Merry Christmas!
My other half was interested in this picture: his mother worked in this back building once upon a time...
