Thanks for your comments. I loved the list. At the bottom, rode an elephant, I'm jealous. I always tell my husband my regrets: I never learned to play a violin, never rode a camel or an elephant! I have, however, seen the Grand Canyon in person.
I wouldnt be too jealous of the elephant. It was at a circus with a bunch of other kids. But an elephant is an elephant.
And I also always wanted to play the violin.
Looks like you've done a lot of the list. But I guess one has to travel around the world to be able to complete it...
Have a great week :)
Thank you for leaving a comment on my blog.
Interesting list, but it looks like one would have to be rich to complete it with all that travel.
Fun list. May borrow it and see how many I have done, then decide whether to use it!
From the comment train on Rav.
