Hee, hee! You crack me up LW.
But forget shopping, I want to see the rain forest! That would be so freaking awesome! Especially one that old!
Here's something I've read about it:
Daintree Tropical Rain Forest Queensland
The virgin rainforests here are amongst the most ancient ecosystems on earth. Some trees are more than 2,500 years old.Towering fan palms stretch towards the sunlight filtering through the rainforest canopy, while the brilliance of the coloured flowers enliven the surrounds.
Some species of plants have survived here since the days of the dinosaurs. The mossy trunks of the ancient trees hold a canopy of dense green aloft. Dappled sunlight filters through to the ferns, cycads and vines. Birds, animals and reptiles continue to live as they had for eons.
WOW! I want to see an ancient tree with a mossy trunk!!! Just the thought makes me dizzy! I would commune with nature and never ever leave.
