Happy Birthday Truman Capote! πŸ“š

 

Happy birthday to Truman Capote, my favorite writer! How strange that Capote and Harper Lee, arguably two of America's greatest writers grew up together in this small Alabama town! Photos from my visit in 2004 with my Amish father who ended up visiting with Harper Lee's mechanic! One of my favorite travel memories ever!
