Sabine, I bet you would like the Appalalchian mountain area! If i understand correctly, they are a very old mountain range (as mountains go). They often have clouds and fog, so different areas are called The Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge Mountains. They are not nearly as high and dramatic as your Alps and the other mountains in Germany, but they have their own beauty. I miss them. :<3:

I know I would like it ! Much space, much nature, only a few people.... Oh yes, that`s it !
Blue Ridge Mountain ? John Denver, my beloved country singer mentioned these mountains in a song ! Take me home country roads:


Take Me Home, Country Roads
John Denver
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue ridge mountains, Shenandoah river
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mamma, take me home
Country roads
All my memories, gather round her
Modest lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mamma, take me home
Country roads
I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road I get a feeling
That I…

They are but I am actually thinking about moving once I finish college to a place with more people than where I am now and a but warmer. I hate the cold, no offence to the owner of the room.
I think charelston sc would be a nice place to live and it had plenty of job opportunities for the field I'm going into.

It will be sad to sale this house though if I do move. My father and I built it ourselves.

Yep that's the only two pics of the outside I have on my phone lol.

Wow, I like you because you like John Denver !:eek::D
My favorite song of him is: Boy from the country. It is the text that makes that song special !
That is the first time I am hearing that one and you are right it is a beautiful one. Me thinks it is time again to listen to some John Denver music.

I saw John Denver in a live concert in Berlin, Germany in 1981 and it was overwhelming ! I am a fan of his music since the 70er years. Can`t understand that he is dead.:(
My father used to listen to him. That is where I learnt to like his music. I also like John Whittaker especially the whistle song. And I am not sure if the singers Des and Dawn were known overseas. They were South African and sang songs like - The seagulls name was Nelson etc.
