        1. I feel for you, but for me to get to these plains implies crossing two countries and paying for road toll and dragging hubby out of his chair 😀

                  1. I do not trust them at all – as long as politicians have the quality they have – or lack of quality

                    I was brought up to responsibility and freedom go together – one of them are’t worth anything without the other one.

                    Politicians and thus government is worldwide
                    only aware of others’ responsibilities and their own freedom… :-/

  5. I like the Goethe quote. I spent 3 months in nepal, comfortably enjoying the view, looking at the mountains, while relaxing, reading books, cooking and enjoying life. 🙂
    No need to go up on the mountain.
