There's a lot of loud noise going on outside this morning. Me: What the heck, are they tearing a building down?

Well...

Found a portal to another world in the lobby restroom of our Dublin hotel.
An large arched mirror framed with an intricate gold floral design and gray metal edging, and with shiny green and gold tiles on the wall in the background, a polka dot floor, and a vent in the ceiling. In the mirror is me, wearing glasses, jeans, duck boots, a beige short trench coat, and a green scarf, holding my phone in one hand to take the picture and a floral backpack in the other.

Summer of the Unicorn, Kay Hooper. I recently bought a new (used) copy!
A blonde, pale-skinned white woman dressed in a green laced-up top with the laces undone leans into the bare chest of the tanned, dark-haired white man behind her. His hands grip her shoulders. In the distance is a white galloping unicorn. The tagline reads, "In the mists of myth, they found passion and triumph."
