Ponderings of a Middle-Aged Mom: Writer's Workshop: Places to Go.

4. A country you would like to visit.

A country I would like to visit. . .

The problem is there is more than one.

There are many.

So do I pick just one?

Or do I make a list of the places I'd like to visit?

Let's do the latter, shall we?

Top Five Countries I would LOVE to visit:

1. Ireland- Somehow I don't think the pictures you see of Ireland do it justice. I think you have to see the rolling green hills in person before you can truly appreciate them.

2. Germany- I took German in high school. I had the chance to go in 11th grade and turned it down. Have since regretted that decision.

Even though the only phrase I can remember is "Ich spreche nur wenig Deutsch." I want to go and make a fool of myself and maybe make a German or two laugh.

3. Italy- So much to see and do in Italy! I would probably eat myself into a food coma. Lots of tasty treats to be eaten there.

And some nice sites to be seen also.

But I would really be going for the food.

Really. I like to eat.

4. France- Eiffel Tower. 'Nuff said.

5. Egypt- I want to see the pyramids.

And the Sphinx.

And maybe go on an archaeological dig and discover something completely new and amazing and become filthy, stinking rich and famous.

Or maybe just famous.

I'm pretty easy going.

What about you? Where are some places you'd like to go?

Italy would have to be on my list too. The food, the wine, the food, the sites. Did I say food?

Can't say I blame you for not going to Germany of the teacher was a douche. That can make or break anything!

Hum, so many places, so little time . . . well and money. Italy, Greece, Egypt, Norther Africa - basically the cradle of civilization area. Then of course there is Nepal and Tibet, China and Turkey. Hum, Belize would also be wonderful.

I need to become independly weatlhy so that I can fund my travel dreams. Where is a sugar daddy when you need one?! :)

I'd like to go to Ireland as well. And Greece. Italy would definitely be good for the food! Here's to you on becoming rich and famous! Or at least famous!

Ah yes... Ireland is absolutely beautiful! If you ever go, DO NOT RELY on public transportation unless you just want to get around Dublin. Rent a car. That was my one regret. Visiting from Mama Kats!

Ireland and New Zealand are at the very top. Australia comes in just under and if the greeks can get their crap together, I would love to visit. Also Italy for the same reason. I too would love to see the pyramids but I'm pretty sure I'll never go there with all the crap going on in this crazy world.

I am so with you on the European countries. In fact, that's what I blogged about for this week's challenge. Italy would be first for me & while writing about it - I didn't even think about the food! I know - sacrilege!! A food coma in Italy would be sooo welcome! Love your post!
