21 Stunning Little Towns I Would Love to Retire To...

When one retires, there are two options as far as I'm concerned. Go live somewhere that makes you feel peaceful and happy, or at least use your time to VISIT some places that make you feel peaceful and happy. After all, what did we work for all our lives if not to enjoy ourselves and the fruits of our labor?

There is a beautiful world out there, full of not only the big attractions we all know, but also the small, picturesque towns that hold some of the most amazing views and peaceful surroundings on God's green earth. Here are some of my favorites, where shall I retire to?

At that time, domestic tourism represented only a small fraction of the tourists but by 2005 domestic tourists outnumbered foreign tourists by a great margin.
