I think it is funny that you say you want to come to America ... I live here and have never seen most of those places either! I have seen "Old Faithful" erupt several times, but the rest of those are things I would love to see myself. By the way, Times Square is in New York City.
ReplyDeleteFun! It was a great way for me to get to know you a little better. I think I'll copy this and post it on Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Felicity ~ that was fun to read =) even if it is biased to the USA -- Times Square is in New York City; the Alamo is a former mission that was location of an important battle between Americans of Texas and Mexicans in 1836. Here's a site that looked good if you're curious to see/read more =)

I've been curious to hear more of your story -- how did you get to S.Africa? Were you born there or move there? etc. =)
Way to go with the Hebrew! That would be tough I think, espec at this point in my life ;-) Maybe when I was 12 and still had most of my brain function?
Hi Felicity ~ Great job on the 100!!! It was so fun to read! You crack me up on #35 - that is the exact movie I was thinking of!!! Tooo funny! Way to go teaching yourself Modern Hebrew ~ WOWZA!!! I hope that you have a wonderful day! Blessings, EMichelle
ReplyDeleteHow interesting! (Even if it is weighted to the USA.) I think I'll post it later in the week.
ReplyDeleteYou've learned Hebrew... I'm impressed :D
