Oh, that sounds wonderful! Where I live we've got plenty of rivers, which are the next best thing, and there's a certain muddy-silty smell to them, too, that I do love, but my favorites are probably still the bigger bodies of water--oceans and bays and bigger lakes.
Just another reason for me to read the Vorkosigan Saga (maybe it should be one of my New Year's Resolutions?). And yes, the Queen's Thief series doesn't always do this, but I've always thought that the first book does a really good job of sort of mapping out Eddis and Attolia for readers, and then The King of Attolia really brings the Attolian palace/court to life in a way that I've always found super evocative, even though it's not as descriptive as, say, the Lord of the Rings books.
