it really is a gorgeous part of the country. Yeah its not far. Its Cumbria area in the North West. I'm not very good with approximating distance and mileages and but i would say it's probably 150-175 miles away from you?

I was going to go to England a year or two ago. Times change, and it's a pity. Well, as an aspiring race car driver, I will be able to travel soon. For now, I'm taking racing at farthest Wisconsin and the next stop is Santa Maria, CA(In state travelling, out of town).

I was quite astounded by the photos. Britain really surprises me sometimes with how gorgeous it is at times!

That should be fun, kayleigh! You've been there quite a few times, right? I knew Germans love Turkey, but I didn't realize it was a destination for Scottish people, too!

Hey, maybe you'll see Cressidagater there!

I was in Turkey in Istanbul and Bodrum in 1996 for several weeks visiting my then significant other and his family after his military duty was over. We went to Ephesus on a 110 F day! I loved the Roman history there, especially the Roman toilets and plumbing. And the blue blue ocean next to the mountains in Marmaris! Really lovely.

I was even learning Turkish. All I remember now is "seni seviyorum" (I love you) and "patlijan" (eggplant) and "usure," a delicious vegan Turkish desert made with beans!
