Default Two that come to mind.....

We took a road trip to Maine and while there went to the top of Cadillac Mountain. After we got to the top we decided to walk down the side of the mountain. Understand I've been on mountains before. But this was different. We sat there and looked out and for the first time in my life, I heard..... silence. I didn't realize until that moment that I had NEVER heard silence before. There has always been sound! It was so wonderful. It felt like you were in a vortex. We just sat there for the longest time and listened to it. I've never heard it since.

The other was when we went to Europe. We decided to spend a couple of days in Paris. Weren't planning on it, but figured since we were so close... why not?

I remember walking out of our Hotel room and walking and few short blocks and seeing the Eiffel Tower. It was surreal! I don't know why it hit me like that, but I remember wanting to weep! I thought it was beautiful, and France thought it was ugly, and wanted to tear it down!

Maybe we can buy it and put it up in The Villages... Build a town square around it.

Or not.....
