I loved the confluence of cultures, the mountains, the artistic vibe and the all the old hippies who seem to reside

in and around the place.

I'm thinking of going again soon (didn't see enough in a few days) and wanted your take, or that of anyone

who lives there, what living/moving there is like -- probably couldn't do this til I retire in four years, but just wondering.

Thanks.
