Be sure to vote by Monday!

Vote to decide which site will be the Eighth Wonder of the World.
.
That's GMA, ABC's Good Morning America, who is running this election. You have to do that on the GMA Web site (link). No pictures here, I didn't want to lift them from GMA. I do have some, maybe will post them later, of the four places I've been.

In the running are:
The Grand Canyon;
Victoria Falls;
The Taj Mahal ;
The Great Wall of China;
Machu Picchu;
Venice;
Panama Canal; or
Saturn V.

I've been to the Great Wall of China, Venice, and the Panama Canal, and worked at NASA, Houston, with the Saturn V. We made an aborted attempt to see the Grand Canyon last spring while we were in Las Vegas and ready to go, it was called off because of a late snow.

I may not live long enough to see them all! I'm votng for the Grand Canyon just to get one in the U.S.A!

How about you?
  • Where of these have you been?

  • Which one gets your vote?

    I haven't visited any of these places Jim, but being a nature lover I'm voting for the Grand Canyon with Victoria falls a close second.

    The Grand Canyon is the only one I've seen. It was however the most awesome thing I've laid eyes on. No description or picture can prepare you for that.

    As much as I think the Grand Canyon and The Victoria Falls are great, I think I'd go for The Great Wall of China as this was man made. What a huge effort and such a long length. Sure I know it's made of bricks etc and there's the odd one of two chinese to help build it....but!!!!

    Warren, I may change my mind. Most of the other Wonders of the world are man made. All of them?
