Since several of you have mentioned the Mall in D.C., can we get more specific? How about the Air and Space Museum – on the second floor near The Spirit of St. Louis? A few from my list: Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen The Anne Frank House in Amsterdam (Secret Annex) The elevators at The Holocaust Museum in D.C. The train station in Vienna BTW, **Vanilla** that is without a doubt the _tackiest_ shower curtain I have ever seen! Umbrella themes in a bathroom make me uncomfortable. ---

I’ve been to many of these places, but probably my strangest match is with **No Clue Boy** at the Sirloin Stockade in Sioux City, Iowa. May I also submit: Las Vegas, NV Gatlinburg, TN Carlsbad Caverns Six Flags over Texas Great Pyramids in Giza, Egypt Narita Airport in Tokyo, Japan The House on the Rock in Spring Green, WI Jackson Hole, WY Avenue of the Giants (redwoods) in northern CA I’ve also swum in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, and the Gulf of Mexico. ---

OK, I can’t keep track of who’s been where. Here’s where I’ve been - if you see me in any of these places, wave to me. Chicago, Illinois (just about everywhere) and several of its suburbs Great Smokey Mountains National Park Gatlinburg, TN (specifically, Arrowmont School of Arts) Memphis, TN and Southhaven, MS St. Louis, MO Kansas City, MO Wisconsin Dells, Racine Zoo, Lake Geneva, Bristol Ren Faire New York City and Poughkeepsie NJ Indianapolis 500 Sawyer and Union, MI Seattle, WA and Ravensdale, WA Florida - Disney World & Sea World Nashville & Hendersonville, TN Cincinatti, OH (or maybe it’s Cincinnati, I forget) Minneapolis, MN Airports: O’Hare, Midway, Atlanta, St. Louis, Sea-Tac, JFK ---

So far I only match Buffalo, NY and the Niagara Falls complex- both sides, Goat Island, and the Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds tours. But then, I grew up half an hour from there and don’t get out much. If you want to go with interstate highways, I’ve been on more of them. I-65, I-75, I-95, I-81, I-90, for sure. I’d have to look at a map to confirm others. I guess I always move between places devoid of any attraction whatsoever and have never left the U.S. except to go to Canada. On preview, been to Nashville, too. Also, the Gulf of Mexico, Biloxi-Gulfport, MS. ---

Since the US seems to be the connecting factor here, I can’t offer ten places: Mann’s Chinese Theatre, LA; That big tall building in Chicago (the second tallest one, with the shops at the bottom, I think it was); LAX; O’Hare (what a dump!). Er, sorry. That’s it. ---

I can match: The Spanish Steps; The Louvre; The Eiffel Tower; Schiphol Airport; and The Anne Frank House. In North America, I’ll add the **airports in Houston and Minneapolis** , the **Metrodome** , and the **West Edmonton Mall**. In Europe, I’ll suggest the **Paris Nord** train station, the **Rialto** in Venice, and the museum in Florence that houses Michaelangelo’s **David**. ---

**Horseflesh** , I think ours is the first exact match other than the observation deck WTC which several of us seem to share. ---

btw, Houston has two airports. Houston Hobby and Houston Intercontinental. And Ellington AFB. Now there’s a thought. Air Force, Navy, Army, etc… bases. I’ve been at Kelly, Ellington, Tinker AFBs ---
