There are some big, interesting islands with a rich history, good economy, fascinating geography - which, I suppose, could keep our interest for a few years without driving us nuts.

I so enjoyed the photo tour of Russia, and your observation about the beggar with the cell phone. She made a statement. <br />I would love to live by a body of water. I love the ocean, and visited New Hampshire lake Winnipasawkie where there were all sorts of small islands on it with homes. Too confining for me, but an awesome view.Linda O'Connellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982895073903619018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8085364042461678579.post-55141470260996497512015-09-27T19:34:40.080+03:002015-09-27T19:34:40.080+03:00Hi Vera,

Now I am living in France I love the feeling of being part of a large landmass.

Life on an island is not for everyone as it involves isolation from the Main land, and daily/weekly transport to and fro is mostly limited to sea vessels. Big islands have an airport or two, but flights are usually quite expensive. People have to find work on the island , and that is not always possible.DUTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979375799258978432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8085364042461678579.post-5370498809124669562015-09-27T13:27:11.190+03:002015-09-27T13:27:11.190+03:00Alicia,
