Next year, I will be teaching Ancient History to sixth graders, and I am supremely excited. It's been hard not to drop everything and start project planning on Ancient China. So instead, I've been researching the Wonders of the World. The new ones, that is. I've been to two of the chosen sites: Machu Picchu and Petra.
I've been to eight out of the top seventy seven nominations for best natural wonder of the world. Not bad? It seems paltry to me.
(12) Ein Gedi Oasis, Israel
(15) Colca Canyon, Peru
(17) Big Sur Beach, California
(22) Lake Titicaca, Peru
(24) Machu Picchu Ecological Reserve, Peru
(29) Dead Sea, Israel
(50) Ko Phi Phi, Thailand
(66) Phang Nga Bay, Thailand
