Where would you prefer to live?

I seemed to be outnumbered here...everyone seems to like living in or near towns or cities...maybe cause I grew up in a city--New York, I'm kind of fed up with it all..I guess I'm too much of a nature gal--I feel at peace with myself near trees, birdies, flowers, etc--in fact, only a few blocks away, there is one area with private 2-family homes with BEAUTIFUL gardens I mean just breath-taking--in the warmer weather I'm out there with my camera in tow (and believe me my camera gear only weighs about 50-lbs--uh, well, maybe not that much, just feels like it at times)--and I'm in heaven--it like feeds my soul to be connected in some small way with nature like that--All I know is is that I would be perfectly content if I lived in a real country envirnonment with lots of land to look at everyday from one's window...I could never understand why when people visit another country they rush to say Paris,or London, etc--oh sure I'd love to visit, but I would rather go and see the countryside and stay at some quaint bed and breakfast kind of thing than an immense hotel in a city--yuk---I used to go to Disneyworld...we'd stay at either the Contemporary or Polynesian Village--My mom loved the Contemporary--I hated it...I preferred the village since you felt you were on a Hawaiian island--now they have a resort there that is themed on an African safari type thing--you can actually look out your window and see giraffes roaming about--hey that's for me--take me away...........

I'd like to go to a Bed and Breakfast in Ireland and take in all the beauty of the land. There is so much there to offer that would just be so peaceful!!! So I totally get what you mean. I really thought that when we were moving to the town that we currently live in...I thought it would be smaller. Now I am finding out it is much bigger than I thought. :( But at least I love at the south side...away from the congestion that strolls into and out of Tulsa. :)

That is real convenient. But like you said the relaxing is worth it.

That could be the real downside about country living---Where I live, you have access to everything...just a few minutes walk from my apartment...you can walk to about five different supermarkets, the mall..libraries..etc..one can get real lazy in as sense and take it for granted--nedd a carton of eggs...why just walk down to the local deli...then not too too far from me are several neighborhoods that you literally have to drive just to get a container of milk...so the same with the country--still I'd trade the ease and comfort for peace and mind and bliss of country living

I see I have a kindred spirit here who feels more content with nature around like I wish I had
