Big Cities that I would love to live in again:
London and Washington DC

Medium sized cities that I thoroughly enjoyed:
Denver and Salt Lake City

Small cities:
Not much interest...well, except for the CinQue Terra in Italy. That place would be a pretty amazing place to live full time.

Ok, if we're doing pics, here's Cefalu`:

Capri is very nice, as is Venice. I prefer the very south of Italy and Sicily as it isn't known as well to tourists.

Although then again I guess you could say I was in Bakersfield. Ooh that would suck.

We can do that in Redding. I can smell it from my backyard. It's about a 2 minute drive.

If I could afford it I would live in Santa Barbara/Santa Ynez in a heartbeat. I surfed Rincon growing up and loved Santa Barbara. In fact I spent a summer between my junior and senior year at UCSB and decided that is where I wanted to go to school until fate took over (my parents pocketbook) and I went to BYU.

Without question I'd live there too. It's the closest thing to Paradise I've seen in the US.

Love where you live now. Maybe she ain't good looking, but if you do a little pokin, you may find she's good in the sack. But you gotta peel back the covers first.

I grew up in SW Washington, near Portland, and the weather never bothered me growing up. After living in TX for 8 years, I don't know if I'd have the same tolerance for the rain. But as I'm up here visiting now, I've got to say, there's a part of me that breathes a sigh of relief when I get here and see all the trees and greenery. Everything seems cleaner-- the air I breathe during morning runs, the streets and highways, etc.

One thing that felt strange is being among a lack of racial diversity here in my parent's ward, and around town.

I'm a SL Valley guy - I like it here.

Other places I'd like to live:

Certain southern Utah towns like Boulder or Bicknell/Torrey.

Mackay, ID. My grandpa had a ranch there. Very small town but it's beautiful. Nestled in between the Sawtooth mountains - gateway to the central Idaho wilderness area.

SF Bay area - I actually lived there, but didn't want to pay a half mil for a tin-roof shack. Maybe the housing market will bomb and I can move back.

San Diego - do I have to explain this one?

Sonora, CA. I LOVE the Sierra foothills.

Interestingly enough, many of these places are all in what I consider to be located in a socialist hell-hole. Weather and scenery sure go a long way I guess.
