Gareth Pugh Neon Bulb Christmas Tree

what a dreamy closet!!

what i would give to spend some time 

in this closet and bedroom...

*sigh*

maybe one day...

what a cool place to go....

the canvas hotel in norway...

the hotel is located on a small

lake and is for people who like adventure...

heated wooden floors and walls insulated with wool

each of these yurts has a wood burning stove

to heat the tents quickly...

a yurt is a tent traditionally used by

nomadic people in centeral asia...

these tents have been modified to fit 

norwegian conditions...

when you arrive a giant trance X1 is waiting

for you if you choose not to bring your own...

size is adaptable...

there are several levels of trails

and large areas of granite providing good traction 

and great cycling conditions...

wow, what a great vacation!

legendary best friends...

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you.”
