Exotic ? ME. :))
I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina, a 10 million souls city in front of the widest river of the world, the largest Italian city outside Italy and the largest Spanish city outside Spain, etc., birthplace of the Tango, of Astor Piazzolla, of Jorge Luis Borges, and maestros Daniel Barenboim and José Cura, land of singers, poets and beef eaters. Not wine & beer exporters because we always end up drinking it all.

I have always rather'd be in Scotland....but would settle for an old farmhouse in northern New England or Nova Scotia OR, a cabin in the mountains with a stream, high up in the Colorado Rockies where my ancestors settled and I mostly grew up....with high meadows and a nice afternoon shower/thunderstorm....but my heart would still long for Scotland...maybe this is why we cannot decide where to move?**BG**

Ask Spaw about Ahia. He'll tell ya all about it...Dulci, my son is not a Mudcatter, yet, but he is in Indiana, New Albany...

Interesting that most people have moved away from their origins - understandable in my case!

I came from near Middlesbrough (when it was Yorkshire) went via lots of places to where I am now, 30 miles due north of London, in Hertfordshire.

I want to split each year between here and Australia to get the best of both worlds - Noosa will do nicely.

Cheers, Terry

Stroudsburg (Monroe County) Pennsylvania. It used to be the country but is now the 6th boro of New York City, tucked into the Pocono Mountains. Come for your honeymoon and bring lots of money! We still have the resorts with the heart shaped bathtubs and beds.

What a thoroughly enjoyable thread! I'm still on the rainy side of the Big Island of Hawaii, where for the past week we've been reminded that this really is the rainy side. I'm glad I got my downspout fixed so some of it goes into the water tank. Then again, with my generator on the fritz I could use a little sun...such is life in the country, as I'm sure many of you all will relate. Finally finding a few people here to sing and play guitar with, which is wonderful. Anybody coming out this way, give me a shout. Oh, yes, I spent several years in the Northwest, grew up in Philly, wouldn't want to live anywhere but Hawaii, but would love to see Australia/NZ and the Mediterranean, and maybe spend a little more time sailing the San Juans and the BC coast. And let me be the first to remind 'Spaw that in his excitement he forgot to tell us all where he is at. But I agree with him completely.

Aloha,
Mark

I'm in Silver Spring Maryland. Strangely enough I found out that Fortunato lives in Silver Spring too....In the same Neighborhood....On the next street over.... Our backyards touch .... they can see into our bathroom window (and vice-versa, though we see their porch). We introduced ourselves in the real world last Friday, and I had a great time playing some music at his house with his wife and a friend of theirs.

Just goes to show that Mudcat introduces people to each other anywhere from around the world to their own backyards. :-)

I gotta' tell y'all how entertaining this is..........For those who say the 'Cat is going to hell and all that Shinola...........It was about a year and a half ago that we first ran a thread like this and it was very tentative. I mean like a lot of people, most in fact, only gave the general location, at best, very minimal info, often without their name attached.

And now.......We gotta' be doing something right that so many newer folks feel free to give these kind of details. New or old, welcome to the "Real Mudcat" and I'm very happy you're around!!!

I would love to be in England this summer, but from the previous posts I have apparently missed summer there.I would love to see it as an adult now that 40 years have passed since I was last there.

I exist in New Jersey during the week. My heart lives in the mountains of Potter county Pennsylvania. I've got a nice little place up there tucked into the side of a hill. 7 acres 2 ponds,bears,deer,ducks,heron,among others,even spotted an eagle last summer. Sitting on my porch with my banjo is just about as close to heaven as anything I can imagine. Two & a half more years to go on that mortgage & I can call it home. Ron.

I would rather be on vacation, but that will have to wait until August 1st. I'll be heading for the 4 (of the lower 48) US states that I haven't been to yet--Minnesota, Wisconsin & both Dakotas

I left Fairbanks, Alaska, and ran out of gas in Tallahassee, Florida, which is located in the northern panhandle of the state. Go figure ... Those from Southern Georgia (USA) refer to Tallahassee as "occupied Georgia." It is hotter than the hinges of hell, here, with temps over 100 degrees and humidity the same (and no rain). But ... we have real good air conditioning.
