M.K. -
We must pass by each other all the time.

Cheers to:
London
Rome
San Juan Islands (off coast of Washington, USA)
Seattle
Santa Rosa Island (Gulf of Mexico)
Colorado Rocky Mountains |
Other than the Colorado Rocky Mountains, the San Juan Islands are the most amazing place I've been. I didn't want to go home!
But the Rockies, oh, the Rockies. Fort Collins is the first place I'm going when I go home.

Jeers to:
Syracuse, New York
Dallas
Houston
Heck, all of Texas, save San Antonio
Raton, New Mexico
Ciampino |
Raton is such a pit. It's almost hell on earth. The only other worse place is Texas. The whole state. The Texans can have it! |

Loved 'em when I lived there:
Istanbul
London
CapeTown
Galway
Vancouver
Loved 'em when I just rolled through:
Cesky Krumlov in Southern Bohemia in the snow
Dresden's old town, in the bizarre cafes and bars
Paris and Budapest and Sighisoara (Romania) in the off off off season
Dublin in winter 10 years ago before everyone was a yuppie with a mobile phone, when the pubs didnt serve martinis or play too much ABBA
San Francisco, Seattle, NY, Montreal, Quebec City
Barcelona, Madrid, Sevilla-- enhanced by a brilliant unexpected romance
Accra, Ghana (vibrant, surreal), surrounded by rastafarians and plantain
the Prenzlauerberg suburb of inner Berlin in Autumn
Amsterdam in spring and autumn, away from the coffeeshops and prostitutes, staying in a friend's lovely tall house on Singel gracht
Edinburgh in September, bloody lovely
Not so keen on:
Prague; the real Eurodisney
Amsterdam in hostel territory in the red light district with no money and a dorm room full of annoying stoned backpackers
Dublin last year-- hello? yuppie town!
Johannesburg
Los Angeles
Anywhere in the American Mid West not because they are ugly or crime ridden but because they tend to be bloody boring
Sophia, Bulgaria |

Miss Molly,
I love Fort Collins too. Some of the friendliest, most laid back people I've ever met. I went to college in (the People's Republic of) Boulder, and while it is beautiful there, the residents are mostly uppity yuppies pretending to be hippies. My great aunt lives on Friday Island (San Juans) - lucky, no?
I just spent the weekend in the Rockies (Pike's Peak to be precise) and it was absolutely perfect. Although I expect my upcoming teaching destination to be lovely as well (Costa Rica), I will definitely be bringing along many pictures of my beloved mountains!
Cheers to the state of Colorado
