Hi Jesse Joe,

Nemo seem to be dancing a jig. Will you please send me a small Kentucky race horse. Looks like Kentucky is where I will be squatting.:)

The last place I want to live is where I am (Denver area). Well, okay, it isn't the last but it sure isn't my choice. Happily, I'll be moving back to Saratoga Springs, NY, full time later this year.That is probably where I will retire. But I'd love to have a little home in Chantilly, France, too ...

PS: And, when I win the lottery, I'll get myself a couple of thoroughbred race horses too. Lot's of places to board them near Saratoga.

I've been a New Englander all of my life, and I've always hated the winter and snow. It was around 62 degrees here yesterday, and that seems just about right to me for January!I wouldn't mind retiring in a place like Oaxaca, Mexico, in one of the little towns outside of the city. The climate is great, the people are nice, the cost of living much less, and there are lots of archeological sites and museums, both large and small, to explore.

Well I am not too sure what the subject of this thread is aiming at but for what it is worth I have to say that one cannot have everything anywhere I guess so except for naturally missing my beautiful hometown of Sherborne Dorset England,

One of my favourite Pubs "The Digby Tap" which I have just discovered is on the site of what was once the Sherborne Workhouse
I will be content to live amongst the strip malls of New Jersey the nearby route 22 stretch claims to be the world's largest outside mall
But of the places I have visited. I''d be quite happy to live in the Land of Enchantment New Mexico
Santa Fe would be just fine thanks

The Palace Of Th Governors
or for a prolonged stay the Ellis Beach Oceonfront Bungalows near Cairns in Queensland will take some beating

A full panoramic picture should load up at:-

especially since only a kilometres south in "Cans" is the Raw Prawn Restaurant right on the Esplanade with a fine "me and you" that includes one of the most delectable meals I have ever consumed:-

And for an individual house I was most impressed by the House On Rock in Wisconsin
http://image14.webshots.com/14/1/92/...8olMhIz_ph.jpg
i could not find a picture emphasizing how this fantastic house sits on top of a high rock
I could say that that would suit me down to the ground but I wont!!

Hi Jesse,

I think it's what John was looking for. I do believe it was in Wisconsin. Will go check it again. :)

Looks like the house is just an extension of the rock. Looks interesting, but not so comfortable to live in...

Where would you go to be happier,if anywhere?

Good queston! I have been in France, Canada, England, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, Mexico and Australia. I loved them all. I could live in any of them..would love to go to Norway too!! Every place I have been to the people were great! Good people are everywhere.
