Trip in the Way-Back Machine

Back in October or November, folks were asking about the New 7 Wonders of the world, because we were talking about the Great Pyramid of Giza–the only one of the Old 7 Wonders of the Ancient (Greek) World.

Here’s a link to the website for the New 7 Wonders:  http://www.new7wonders.com/classic/en/n7w/results/

I’m especially happy that it covers a range of cultures and locations.  You can really see the different styles and ideas at work.  Much better representation of the world than 6 Greek monuments and 1 Egyptian tomb.  (Though those are pretty fantastic, too.  And you should go visit them, when you go to see the New 7 Wonders.  Step one will be to build a time machine, because they’re gone, except for the Great Pyramid, and even that has seen better millenia.)

Side note:  Don’t forget that Picture Day is tomorrow!  Photos are being taken in PE, I think.
