People sound unique and lovely up there @pshowbiz living in South Africa I don't know how I would react not seeing the sun for so long, a couple of days and rain and we already complaining.
Perhaps we should all spend one full year in another persons environment to know how it feels. The smaller town sounds quaint. Loved your detailed comment.
Thanks for the feel of what is to be for the next few months @exploretraveler
It's too cold cold for us, but we can visit for food, cheer and photo's.
