I have this impossible fantasy of winning the lottery and buying an old house near the sea -- but not in a warm place, and probably in a place where it would be quite cold in the winter -- if in the U.S., probably in Maine, if in Germany, somewhere in Schleswig-Holstein -- and living in complete isolation save for seeing some family members (those I like, anyway) and some friends. I always complain about cold (as well as summer heat), but when it comes right down to it, I don't think I'd be happy living in a place that didn't truly experience four seasons. I could never live anywhere tropical.
I like mountains, too, but I often don't like the narrow minds that seem to come with the narrow valleys.
