sigh oh Cindy....jeesh girl...i almost cry looking at your pictures! this is PARADISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sighs again. Your photos are all so incredible. deep sigh... Kort...as much as i love the sea, i would have a hard time choosing between living on the coast and that piece of heaven that Cindy's showing. 20 minutes isn't that far to the sea...i mean...from here it's 14 HOURS!!!! just all about perspective!!! sorry about your long hours! we can transfer with our jobs but the problem is down your way the cost of living is the same...actually a bit more...but the pay scale there...oh man...we wouldn't be able to transfer at the same pay rate...and it would be WAY too much money to lose. you wouldn't believe it. Alabama is even worse. Perhaps one day.... Ilona, your place is verrrry beautiful too!!!!! gorgeous courtyard! can i join you in Cindy's garden? :)
