You're sure a romantic sort. As much as I love all things Irish, I'm beginning to want to visit.
Thanks to the combined efforts of Bush and Obama, I'm too broke for a plane ticket.
How long does it take to swim there?

We have grand roses on the mountain 2565 metres above sea level in northern Thailand, they 're beautiful and they are rare roses , we called it in Thai ...... which means a thousand year roses.. I don't know if they 're original from what country as that area they expected it to look like a little Switzerland for the king's mother., she loved it overthere very much .she spent the rest of her life on this mountain.
