garden of eden

i can't imagine that it would be more beautiful than where i am. i would have loved growing up here (i think) not having all the modern conveniences life is so simple, 11 hour school days, from getting up at 5, home at 4, dinner, soccer, dinner again, tv for a couple of hours and bed. would growing up on a rural farm in canada have been any different, except of course for the climate and scenery. the plaza (soccer field) where the boys played on sunday was surrounded by palm trees and vivid beautiful flowers, and horses, bicycles and a couple of vehicles lined the street. absolutely gorgeous.
