Rooming with Jules Verne
My soon-to-be roommate is a fellow Texan, an adjunct instructor at Texas State, and enviably, a grandmother. We have been assigned The Jules Verne room at the historic Victorian-style Spencer Hotel. Each room is named and decorated for a different writer. Our room has a door to the veranda and we can meet in the parlor–a novelty in itself. I can skip my morning water aerobics with a clear conscience since there will be a lot of walking involved. Check out the hot air balloon we have in our room.
