HELLO FROM Journeywoman.com

I've just returned from a two-day road trip in a magical part of the world. The vistas were absolutely breathtaking and the people who live in this place were beyond lovely. I sampled sophisticated culinary delights as well as nautical down-home cooking. All gift shops I browsed had some form of colorful knitting for sale. It took me almost three hours of flying from this mystery spot to return to my home in Toronto, Canada. I'm definitely going back for a longer stay the first chance I get. Can anybody guess where I was? Send your answers to: editor@journeywoman.com

'We met a local down by the harbour. He told us about this spot and how beautiful it was in a raw kind of way. We had to go up and a bit off-road to catch the view. The climb was so much fun and so well worth it.'
