Loved the picture of you in the lean-to :) Sounds like Asheville is pretty amazing. I don't know that I've truly felt that way about many places. I fell in love with London when I did a study abroad there when I was younger--I didn't want to come home at all. I am enamored with Charleston but I'd only want to live there for a few years. And I absolutely loved Boulder when I visited there but I wouldn't want to actually live there. :) So...maybe that all means that I'm happy where I'm at in Oregon? I don't know... :) Good food for thought.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14534188581599809339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-14747346126330374942014-05-10T15:46:23.441-05:002014-05-10T15:46:23.441-05:00New York has totally captured my heart.

American places that captured my heart: Portland (OR), Asheville, Jackson Hole, Minneapolis (for you!) and Cape Cod. Overseas: Japan, Bangkok, Bali, Paris, Sri Lanka and Moscow. But my heart is always in Alabama, in the small town where I was born and raised, and the place where my parents are now buried.Major Allen Espyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10324254733159642997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-8631560722297902822014-05-08T21:11:18.445-05:002014-05-08T21:11:18.445-05:00I could go back to Nashville, Anna Maria Island an...I could go back to Nashville, Anna Maria Island and Traverse City over and over and over again.The Many Thoughts of a Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12261949837343560602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-81748433379477771412014-05-08T15:40:21.900-05:002014-05-08T15:40:21.900-05:00You'll be gone by then but I booked a trip to ...You'll be gone by then but I booked a trip to Charlotte for a wedding an hour north of it.

Your latte looks delicious and a GF pumpkin chocolate chip muffin sounds SO GOOD right now! <br /><br />The city that's captured my heart is Portland, Maine. Lots of breweries, farm-to-table restaurants, farmer's markets, bike trails, you name it. I love it. I haven't been in almost a year and I don't think I'll be able to get there until this fall.

Is this group older, middle aged, younger or a variety? Do they all meet up weekly to hike? What a great way to hike with other people. <br /><br />Pretty much all of Italy and Switzerland felt like bliss to me. As far as the U.S., I have really loved Victoria, Bend, Chicago and the Redwoods.

I always say "everything is *okay* in San Diego". You can go there with no itinerary and always have plenty to keep you smiling. Same with Big bear, CA. I love CA....if only the cost of living wasn't so steep!!!

We actually tried to move to Asheville several times before landing in Raleigh, but the jobs up there never worked out. I'd move there in a heartbeat if I thought the job opportunities were stable enough.<br /><br />Boone was like that for me. I lived there for 5 years in college and would still move back in a heartbeat. i never get tired of going there. I think Racine, WI was the same way. I've been twice and absolutely loved it both times. Kelley thinks we're going to retire to Racine from the way I talked about it.Carolina Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14834384961037080805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-91446534927698077292014-05-07T13:58:01.907-05:002014-05-07T13:58:01.907-05:00And now I need to book a trip to Asheville!

I had some sea salt caramel fro-yo Sunday night; it was great but i bet gelato is way better :) <br /><br />Way to go on the hikes; I agree with Becky you are a rock star! Love the tee pee that you found along the way; how neat. <br /><br />For me, places that have captured my heart: Daytona Beach, Sanibel Island, Door County and Redondo Beach (outside of LA).
