There's a small community in the Bitterroot Valley that feels exquisitely peaceful to me. I have plans to go there this summer. It's been a few years since I visited there.Trudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10783836223461464801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2303338240948428759.post-88275906621359486462021-04-23T09:45:55.262-04:002021-04-23T09:45:55.262-04:00Gail, I think I had heard about Doris Duke's S...Gail, I think I had heard about Doris Duke's Shangri-La, but had forgotten about it. In 1936 she was an early-adopter!<br /><br />Mike, you're right. I live in a place that needs more heating than cooling, so I tend to forget about air conditioning. Of course Shangri-La is up in the snow-capped Himalayas, so I don't think they need to worry about getting too hot up there.Anne E.G.

There are days when I wake up and think it's true - I know absolutely nothing. We can count today as one of those.Deborah Weberhttps://deborah-weber.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2303338240948428759.post-33439208981568370312021-04-22T14:06:06.198-04:002021-04-22T14:06:06.198-04:00All 4 look very inviting.

I wouldn't want to arrive at such a wonderful place and then be forced to use chamber pots or, even worse, outside sheds equipped with holes in the ground. I wonder if Shangri-La has telephones and computers too. Maybe in its future incarnation, it will.

I've heard of Lost Horizon, but thought Shangri-La was either a lost city that existed, or the author just used the name. <br />No, no wonderful communities found by me. :(Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12592568959570035100noreply@blogger.com
