Where is your heart?
So, we've done Italy, Switzerland, Ireland, Corsica, Elba, France-, etc.---Where is your heart?
Ours is in France. We've had some great adventures, but somehow France is the most gentle, lovely place we've been. If it's Paris, the Loire, the Riviera, Provence, we feel at home here.
Have you ever been somewhere that makes you feel as if you have been there in another life?

We are the same way - FRANCE! Love Italy, UK, all the places we have visited, but we always say our heart is in France and plan to move here to retire. Food, the people, the language, the land - love it all!
We are currently in the Charente enjoying some beautiful weather and lovely towns after spending a week in Champagne and the Loire Valley. All new areas for us and we love those too!

It's divided between Iceland and the Peruvian Amazon. How's that for contrast? I think in both cases, though, it's the total immersion in the land/atmosphere that draws me. I've been to both places three times so far, and would love to return.
In continental Europe, it's Italy, for the food, the art, the people, the sunshine...

My heart's in the highlands
My heart is not here
My heart's in the highlands a-chasing the deer
A-chasing the wild deer and following the roe
My heart's in the highlands wherever I go.
Actually it's in Ireland but the song just insisted.

Home is where the heart is - so New York.
If I had to pick a place in Europe to live it would be London. there are many places more romantic or prettier - but IMHO nothing more interesting overall. (I know I would become bored fairly quickly in a smaller town - and I a a history maven.)

The Netherlands...my parents were both dutch, my hubby is also of dutch heritage. About six years ago we went for the first time and I felt like I had come home. The pull to go back there is strong, but alas there is whole big world to explore!

Oregon, USA. Beautiful coastal beaches and headlands, wine countries, the best city in North America, beer, urban/rural divide, alpine areas, 500 year old trees, old growth forests, deserts, lakes, ghost towns, it has it all! And no sales tax too!!
