What great places you visit!
I especially like the picture from high on a hill looking at the countryside. Where I live it's pretty much flat and trees prevent much of a horizon. We do have some nice beaches though. I love the beach myself.
I have a story about the beach. I thought I could serf and couldn't, it looks so easy "I can do that"...nope. My foot got caught in some rocks, every wave I was under until the bottom of the wave. I thought I was a goner, it's a very lonely feeling even though people are only few hundred yards away, but they cant hear or really see you much, the ocean is unforgiving.. A wave crashed on me and knocked me loose eventually. Never tried that again, waves aren't right in Fl. :)
