There is a place in California called Lake Oroville, and if you rent a house boat for a few days, and the first night, dock right out in the middle of the lake, anchoring on this little island that is right in the middle. Climb up on the observation deck of the house boat and lay up there, staring up at the sky, you can literally see the entire milky way. It is one of the most amazing sites I have ever seen. Then, for the rest of your stay, head on up one of the forks, north or south is fine, and you can dock in private little alcoves, usually with tiny water falls running down the alcove, its so peaceful to wake up to every morning. So quiet, so perfect.

The Smokey Mountains in Tennessee. I was driving cross country and was going through a valley in the Smokey Mountains and it brought me to tears. I still haven't seen anything so beautiful that affected me so deeply and quickly.

The Black Hills in South Dakota. It was the first time I had seen purple mountains. It was just beautiful.

I am not a story teller but I have to repeat this one.
A person wanted to phone heaven so they thought "I will go to British Columbia it is overlooking the ocean" So off they went and went into a beautiful chapel and asked the preacher if they could call heaven on the phone and the preacher said of course but that long distance will cost you $20,000,000. I have not close to that money says the person I will try elsewhere. Going to Alberta then Sask. then Ontario, then Quebec in a beautiful church (which only cost $3,000,000. ) Quite a savings he thought but I dont have that kind of money so off he went. The man travelled and could not find a place to make his call so he decieded to take a ship to Newfoundland. He felt relieved at its serenity and friendly people, the beauty of the lakes and streams. As he sat on a high hill overlooking the ocean he thought "I will try this last place". Off he went to the next day and ended up in a tiny country church. He approached the minister and told him his tale of woe. I wanted to call heaven he said to speak to my family as they are all passed but I can't find a place to phone long distance with out paying a fortune which I don't have. Oh not a problem said the minister you can call from here and it wont cost you any such amount. It will be 25cents. The man was in awe, "how come so cheap to call heaven . Well said the minister, its a local call. (That is where I was born).

Time for a bump:

Myajima Island, off of Hiroshima (yes, I realized the irony of such a beautiful place so close to what was once a bombed-out wasteland). This has the famous "floating" torii gate, that I could see from the ryokan window. My daughter and I spent a day exploring waterfalls and feeding deer. If I could have lived on that island and soaked in an onsen every day, that would be sweet.
