What adventures you have been having! I don't know if you like watching movies; I myself am not much of a cinema-goer at all, but I liked the movie version of The Black Stallion so much that I have seen it more than once, and it is on my short list of films I would like to own a DVD copy of. The movie was made in 1979 by Francis Ford Coppola, and particularly the first half of the film is quite spectacularly beautiful, you might enjoy watching it...
