  3. All my favorites with a twist. Clouds blowing past the moon. Toast with my canaries pre dawn while the wild birds morning chorus. Moonlight horserides, rainforest and beach. Steamy bath in winter and forest rock pools in summer. Farmer and handcraft markets every weekend. Ocean boardwalk eatery's that bake bread while you wait on chai and fruit in salad. Campfire on the edge of the desert when the dingos sing not hunt. Parrots on the billabong, possums on the table,nip of rum with a custard apple.
    I'm there P thank you. Hope you had a great day. May your mountains be leafy green.

  4. You should move to Paris !!!! According to your list you will fit PERFECTLY!
    Paris is quite small (1O times smaller than London, New york and most of the others europeans capitals) but you have more than 860 show/day (concert, play, shows etc....).
    208 theaters and cabarets, 173 museums, 3 operas, almost 400 cinema screens ( including 150 indie and 80 "art et essai" in 84 movie theater).

    So many restaurant that it'll take more than 10 lives to try them all!! you can eat EVERYTHING in Paris, from a basic Steak & Chips to a plates of bugs in an indonesian or other exotic restaurant!!

    I was born and raised in Paris, i moved last year to Australia and trust me Paris is AMAZING!!

  7. To Priscilla,

    Your down-to-earthness never ceases to amaze me. That's why I'm a huge fan! I heartily approve of everything up there^ :). My favorites from that list have to be number three, seven, and eight. I've gotten a lot of flak (though mostly light-hearted prodding) for being a nature-boy romantic but HEY. What we like, we like. Can't expect everyone to see eye to eye with our decisions (Btw, your teeth are fine. Though your dentist might have meant well in trying to change the way you are, I'm glad you stuck to your guns).

    Besides being outside a lot, one of my top ones would be getting lost in a library, especially when it's really empty. Even if I don't check anything out, I really like to walk in libraries and get lost in the books. Each one is like a fine wine, with it's own musky book-smell, lol. Sometimes I like to sit and think that behind every book was an author who spent months writing something that most people will never ever read.

    Get lost in a library sometime!

    T.S.P


    P.S. Good luck with all that touring!

    1. Aw! You really are a nature-boy romantic! Something to be proud of. :)

      I love your idea of getting lost in a library! I really do love them too. I almost put that down on my list... but then I remembered being hit on in one. It was really awkward, and I've actually been shy to go to libraries for too long by myself anymore. But an EMPTY library -- that's more my style! ;)

  8. I looove going to Laemmle's to watch movies alone too :) They usually have pretty small theatres, so it's extra cozy :) Plus, the concession stands have way better prices than your AMC, Regal, etc. One of my fave things to do is to just go there, and watch whatever's playing next. Hasn't let me down yet! :) Thanks for sharing, P.

    1. YES! I love Laemmle's! Super cozy. I will have to try your "watch whatever's playing next" idea. Sounds fun, and I'd probably see something completely new and inspiring, that I might not otherwise have chosen to watch. Awesome idea! :)
