backwards, to when i still worked in the television industry, and had the wonderful good fortune to be on the 'inside" of this incredible event. here, in the south end of the state, even the winter is comfortable. plus, i get to spend tons of time with my girlfriends while we log the miles! it is in it's first year, after that will probably remove the hibiscus and the shade it is providing. the tea and rubber plantations not only add to the beauty of the town but also are a major industry.
