"The Perfect Storm"



I just got finished watching this movie and boy what a movie it was!

Although I am quite drawn to the "romance" of living in a fishing village and fishing for a living this movie showed something quite different! I won't give away the ending for those of you who haven't seen the movie yet!

I will say that the movie does take place in the Massachusetts area and I believe that is the same area where Martha's Vineyard is!

Although I haven't fished in a long time I am longing to do so again!

I think that this movie is sad, uplifting at some points but I really fell in love with the scenery and there are men and women out there who's passion and soul lies in the fishing profession!

And I salute them all!

Greece, Sicily!







This is an absolutely stunning picture from a photography blog where the photography takes pictures of their area which is the Greece and Sicilian areas.

I have only had a chance to glance at this particular blog but that first picture was so good that I thought that I would recommend it here since the entire blog provides very good scenic photos of the areas. (However I should warn you that since this is a photography blog the entire blog may take some time to load!)

What better way to be a "Couch Traveler" then to view photos from the comfort of your own computer - LOL!

Scotland

I found a very likeable blog today about Scotland. It's called Travel To My Scotland and I liked it right away because there are some gorgeous pictures of Scotland that are included on the blog.

Scotland (and Ireland) is one of the places on my wish list places to visit!

Why? Because there is just something that I like about these areas - the castles, the greenery of it all and of course there are quite a few romantic movies that have UK as their backdrop.

So I intend to visit this blog again and again! Besides loving the pictures that are posted I just like finding out more about the area...........
