Its called St-Irénée, its in Charlevoix, about 4.5 hour drive from Montreal. Its where my mom was born and where i always feel good. The village is set in the mountains... this picture was taken from the end of the village, and you can see the quay. Its not in use anymore, but my grand-father was a boat captain and on the day he was put in the earth, his long time boat was sunk about 500 feet from the end of the quay (was just a weird coincidence). Its on the shores of the St-Laurent River. yeah, just a river! Hubby and daughter on the quay. A fishing net that works with the tides. They sell the small fishes on the side of the beach. This used to be a guard house, i don't think ever used to guard though. It was the land of the rich guy from the City. Forget, he brought the train up to St-Irénée. His daughter used to go to my grand mother's farm to learn about what real life was! said grand mother's house! Its truly where i feel the best in all of the world. I feel grounded there.

I'd happily leave everything and move to either place permanently and in fact may do so at some point. We bought a building lot in Sedona the first time we ever visited and will probably build a house there eventually and I've had feelers out for a while now for property on Skye or near it on the mainland, so we'll see. I have to upload some pix first before I can post them. 'The best way to get over a man is to get under another.' Tamala Jones "What Love Is"

My feet can't keep still so I'm off and running from wherever I may call home. 'The best way to get over a man is to get under another.' Tamala Jones "What Love Is"

Member Posts: 13455 08/05/09 09:57 AM YO MAMA Slightly Off-Kilter	I've been to Sedona -- it is beautiful -- but very different from what I'm used to -- don't think I'd want to live there but a nice place to visit. My SIL's parents live there. Lynn

But it 'spoke' to me, if that makes sense and I can just see myself there. I'm anxious to explore New Mexico as I've been told I will probably like it as much if not more than northern Arizona.

Member Posts: 13455 08/05/09 11:38 AM YO MAMA Slightly Off-Kilter	Both Scotland and Majorca are beautiful, each in their own way. I'm not much on ocean-living, though, so, I doubt if I'd ever find that environment ideal, long-term. I also very much like the "change of seasons" so anywhere where it stayed virtually the same all year would get on my nerves -- especially if there was no cold weather, which I love. If I were to pick up and move, here in the US, I'd probably want to live in the mountains of north Georgia, North Carolina or Tennessee -- for whatever reason, when I'm there, I feel more at peace than anywhere else.

I could definitely go further north or to a mountainous area but not the beach either. I get my fill of water via lakes and rivers; salt water can go hang - blech!

Where i stay is surounded by hills and mountains so when i go else where i like to see a different landscape!

My bare bits barely survived a few minutes of the summer sun there Lol like i would live that near countryside...well i suppose i am never far away from the countryside...whatever way you look you see hills and you can probably reach the countryside from the middle of perth in less that ten minutes in each direction, but i dont think i could live beneath kinnoull hill. Maybe that is why so many people jump off it!!! If you couldnt cope with the weather in Majorca then you should definately keep away from Cyprus...unless you go in the winter...that place is like a furnace!
