I'd like to go to Dal Lake in Kashmir but it would mean travelling in time as well as in space. I'd love to go to Dal Lake in Kashmir before Pakistan hated India and India hated Pakistan. Maybe before Pakistan existed maybe before the days of the British Raj when you could be in a beautiful houseboat and travel about on gondolas watching the herons fly startled by the sound of your oars. Although looking for a meant discovering that Dal Lake now has wifi along with armed guns.

I went to New Zealand in 1998 when I was pregnant with my first daughter and I cannot act to show her and her sister all the places we loved so much. It's a gorgeous country and the populate are just so friendly. I watched the Lord of the Rings movies partly just so that I could see familiar terrain. They have a fruit there called a feijoa (aka pineapple guava) and it's only available here in the US this time of year. If it's good -- and not overripe -- it's this unbelievably creamy pineapple-y delight. If it's bad come up then it's just yucky.

Ireland - even when I see it back up hand on tv. I get tears in my eyes and a accumulate in my throat. When I visited there I thought I had gone to emerald green heaven. And oh. Danny boy. I would unify an Irishman just to have him whisper me to sleep every night with that lovely articulate.
How's the evince coming along Mrs. G? Glad you enjoyed my affix!There are so many places I would love to visit. If I had to pick one now I'd say India because it's my father's favourite and he's been to MANY countries. So I be to see what all the fuss is about: you can only express so much from photos.
