hi Poppy,
visiting beautiful places has been one among the many factors that helps an individual to get relaxed (both physical and mental) from the tiring urban life.
atleast once a month, I go to a nearby province to breathe fresh cool air and to have atleast a quite place to spend a day. how I love to see tall grasses swaying along with the wind, a music of water drifting down from the mountain and the farm animals that seem to be singing in chorus.
at my age, I always want to keep my self be associated with nature. who knows, maybe one day, we're not going to witness the beaty of our wonders anymore.
:)
