I got a post card from Sarah and Ryan today. It was of Victoria falls, one of the 7 natural wonders of the world. This got me thinking, how many wonders have they seen? I thought there were only 7 wonders. Actually there are 7 wonders of the ancient, medievel, modern, natural and underwater worlds. There are a few other categories, but I think that they are a bit of stretch.
How many wonders have you seen? I think that Sarah and Ryan will probably win this contest, but you never know Karen may win this weeks challenge too!! If you aren't sure about some of these wonders, you can click on them to find out more.
THE ANCIENT WORLD, I think that only one of these still exists.

The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus

hmmm I posted a comment yesterday and it didn't show up???
anyways it said:
Sadly I can't claim this weeks prize, I have only seen two of the modern wonders, The Golden Gate and The Empire State Building.
the cn tower a wonder?! and to think i never knew as i was trying to freak out my mother and uncle on the glass platform that i was doing it in a wonder of the world... anyway, with the golden gate bridge and the northern lights (which are super cool) i have you tied!
My most recent sighting of the Northern Lights was last January on an airplane, flying from Calgary to some point east. I had a window seat, as I always do, and as we were flying east I looked out my (left-hand side) window and what to my wondering eyes did appear but the glowing, shimmering Northern Lights! They kept us company for a good half hour, I'd say. Nice! (Also the only one of the wonders I've seen.)
Sorry to blow you all out of the water but...
I have seen 10 (i think we have seen Artemis, we were in Ephesus...)
Pyramids
Temple of Artemis
Great Wall of China
Hagia Sophia
Tower of Pisa
Great Barrier Reef
Victoria Falls
Northern Lights
CN Tower
Golden Gate
Suds beats us all with 11 adding in the
Colosseum
Harbor of Rio de Janeiro
(but without Pisa)
does this mean that suds wins the romance novel prize?
