I hadn't really thought of them as being our modern version of these old 'story telling' maps, though.Robin Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02960833482145500665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26414616.post-75433680098071379522011-11-20T09:16:16.735-08:002011-11-20T09:16:16.735-08:00These are amazing!

I love traveling and finding the modern version for cities and towns~ I know they're tourist gimmicks for the most part, but I still like looking at them. I remember loving the "picture maps" when we took family trips, because I could see drawings of the shops, mountains, beaches, restaurants, attractions. It was very cool for someone who had just been reading for a few years to be able to say, "Hey Dad! Go up two streets and to the left! The beach is right over there." Same thing for maps of Disney World and the like. I could stare at those for hours. This goatskin map, of course, is an even bigger marvel :)Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121018905141253640noreply@blogger.com
