auckland nz.



...ok, i'm going to stop with the shameless nz-promoting now.

i want to go to chicago.
but i am scared of leaving the mountains.

I want to go to the Annapolis Valley.
but I am scared of leaving Dartmouth.

I'd say Toronto, but i think it choose me. I think it choose me before i was cognizant enough to choose it.

Is this more like it?

I'd say Toronto, but i think it chose me. I think it chose me before i was cognizant enough to choose it.

yup, its getting late.

I'm there - and I ain't tellin' where...

St John's College, Cambridge, Third Court, where I could wander through the Fellows' Garden and visit King's Chapel for evensong on Sunday afternoons...

steph- leaving the mountains is only a problem for people who lucky enough to know them, so consider yourself among the entraped lucky.

MM- I'm looking at picking up 80 acres or so w/in a couple hours of Durango in the next couple of years- CO160 from Durango to Fort Garland is one of the most beautiful roads available. Intersecting it are literally hundreds of dirt roads to paradise.

stephanie, you'll take the mountains with you to Chicago.

In Philly I used to constantly catch glimpses out of the corner of my eye of low clouds on the horizon and momentarily "see" and "feel" the presence of Mount Hood or Camelback Mtn, in that instant before my concious mind caught up with me and reminded me there are no mountains in the big east coast cities.

Plus, Chicago has the Lake, which is an enormous, overwhelimng, constantly changing natural phenomenon, right there within spittin' distance of the loop. Just get a job/apartment in a place with a view of the lake and it can be your surrogate mountain.

Go east young woman! (At least for a while.)

Oh, and in response to the thread queation - if money was no object, I'd live in NYC.

Manhattan, if for no other reason, then because its impossible to get lost there!

oslo or rome...

and seannola...it's slightly possible to get lost in manhattan
in the lower part where the grid stops and avenues and streets
sometimes run parralel...of course you'd eventually find your way out,
cause you'd see the water, but you could walk around for a while not
knowing where you are...i know i've done it.

and liberty bell..i don't find nyc to be too expensive...but i lived
in boston for a while...nyc is only a couple bucks more expensive
than boston..and i doubled my salary when i moved here.

given that my name is puddles, i have to admit that i have recently become infatuated with new orleans.

NYC
Barcelona
Sevilla

LIBERTY,

thanks for the encouragment!

:)

I've been away from the mountains (Denver) long enough to almost forget how they great they are...except am reminded when I go skiing in the rockies.

Have friends that have wanted to sell their mountain bikes when they moved east because "there just isn't any good biking without mountains." Then they got here in the midwest only to discover that there are just as challenging singletrack trails here and it's every bit as good.

if i could extract myself from life in an urban neighborhood and i didn't need a constant workload > key largo, where my wife grew up.

NYC
Vancouver
Paris

Greenland

I mean Brighton Beach England

Barcelona
Vals
Cape Town

It has long been mine and my partner's desire to live abroad for a period of time. It looks like this may occur in 2-3 years time. I am looking at the following locations:

Abruzzo, Italy - close to Rome and Tuscany, yet far enough away.
Granada, Spain - close to the Alhambra.
Or perhaps a Pacific Island, although I think that I might eventually feel bored and claustrophobic. At least in Europe, you can explore.

If money was no object, I'm with Liberty - New York. Would also consider the Queenstown district.

Real world choices - Melbourne, perhaps the greatest overall city in the world.

barcellona (if they don't kick me out:)
LA
les 2 alpes
pais basc (the spelling is my personal opinion)
salento

Martha Stewart's Uterus

Don't sound too comfy for Martha. Archinectors, yer all sickos!

north shore, oahu

Anywhere I can call home which is no where yet - you need money everywhere you go

marfa, tx -- but the folks from nyc and houston bought the town all up.

so: malmo
