Prak, yes it is beautiful out here, every where we go we see forests and deer, it's amazing. I especially like driving into Chester Illinois (Home of Popeye!) Beautiful near the river.
But I know how city life is as well, lived in Houston during part of my Childhood, and St Louis area in my early 20's.
I remember being able to walk to the 7-11 for penny candy when i was in 4th or 5th grade, lol.
But i also remember going skinny dipping in the creek near my grandparents house, and hunting Morel mushrooms with my grandfather through the woods and getting poison Ivy many times.
Every child should get to see the wonders of nature.
