I wonder if the stop at the cliff or go into the mountain. That would be cool to have it go into the mountain another 30 feet

Looks to me like those are caves in the cliffs and they just built porches with walkways b/w them...

now that I think about it, you're probably right. Not sure why I thought they'd build a house 6 foot deep there

The Hanging Temple or Hanging Monastery (simplified Chinese: 悬空寺; traditional Chinese: 懸空寺; pinyin: Xuánkong Sì) is a temple built into a cliff (75 m or 246 ft above the ground) near Mount Heng in Hunyuan County, Shanxi province, China. The closest city is Datong, 64.23 kilometers to the northwest. Along with the Yungang Grottoes, the Hanging Temple is one of the main tourist attractions and historical sites in the Datong area. Built more than 1,500 years ago, this temple is notable not only for its location on a sheer precipice but also because it includes Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian elements. The structure is kept in place with oak crossbeams fitted into holes chiseled into the cliffs. The main supportive structure was hidden inside the bedrock.[1]

Scotland is always colder. I loved the people, but Summer only lasts about 250 collective hours.

I knew about London, didnt know about SF. You can't go wrong with either SF or Vancouver. Both are great places to live.
