In New Zealand, we found the perfect joining of the two. On the east coast of the South Island, the mountains come right down to the sands of the Pacific. Early in the morning, we stood on the beach, watching the sun slowly illuminate the mountains from top to bottom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931783049655504855.post-1811119673417677522008-04-02T22:57:00.000-07:002008-04-02T22:57:00.000-07:00For both my wife and I, it's definitely the beach....For both my wife and I, it's definitely the beach.

I was trying to explain to some people here how much I love the ocean.. and how much I love the mountains... and I could not put it all together in a way that was satisfactory to me... and then look at this.. you did it! that is the perfect place... one side the indescribable ocean and on the other side the indescribable snow capped mountains! Guess I am spoiled growing up in Oregon where you can actually experience that. the closest I have been over here... Interlaken Switzerland... two lakes surrounded by Alps. :-) cool.. but not the same.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00349008826855209110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931783049655504855.post-69932188410940893212008-04-01T21:18:00.000-07:002008-04-01T21:18:00.000-07:00Matt, would you please forward Beauty and the Beac...Matt, would you please forward Beauty and the Beach to this grandma?

But, I also love Oregon for it's waterfalls! The power in Multnomah Falls when it has been a very rainy season is undaunting for me. The picture it paints of the real powerful God who created it enraptures me!Amy Guerinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729880742850937752noreply@blogger.com
