Great Barrier Reef (bet you all thought I would say Arc de Triomphe, but having nearly been killed trying to cycle around it, it has lost some of its charm for me...)
Sadly, I am totally knackered and cannot last any longer today - the boiler stopped working tonight. Spent ages trying to get it to fire up. The oil sight gauge on the tank said we had plenty. Boiler's under guarantee. Half hour searching for guarantee papers. For some unknown reason, thought I'd check the fire valve and then discovered the sight gauge valve was in the off position (could only have been the guy who made the last delivery did that). Turned the valve and watched all the oil in the sight gauge rush downwards into the tank - so problem solved - no oil! Problem now will be to get a quick delivery. So sorry can't stay longer, and sorry for loading off my story on you here. I'll leave you alone now. Enjoy the rest of your day. I'll see who won tomorrow....

hmmmm... both bring up images of death so I'll go with... suicide. Golden Gate no Wailing Wall definitely Wailing Wall not what politicos do with it but what it means to the faithful. Wailing Wall.

i think the vote is over but id say golden gate. mainly because i im scientific and dont see the difference between one rock and another.
eg, in mekka(sp) they put bigger walls and slabs of rock for the inscrease of people to throw stones at. kinda takes away the spirituallity of it all

Vesuvius...too much history, and Devil's Tower isn't likely to snuff out thousands on short notice anytime in the future.

Mt Vesuvius - the Last days of Pompeii and all that. The Devil's Tower is actually sort of a disappointment up close and personal. Wyoming should stick to Yellowstone to bring the tourist trade in.
