I loved spending the afternoon at Bottom Bay, a small beach on the south east coast of Barbados. I don’t know what it is about beaches—if there’s something in our wiring that conditions us to love their color combinations, or what—but I can hardly imagine any place prettier.

I loved this celebration of Chinglish.

I loved Frank Bures’s The Roads Between Us: A Journey Across Africa. This account of his taxi/bus journey is so good, so personal and so real that it made my kidneys hurt.

Some terrific visual storytelling at Information is Beautiful, specifically this graphic that shows what different colors mean to different cultures.
