Seven Wonders of the World - WOW

Do you remember the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World? It is truly sad that out of the 7 Wonders, the Pyramid of Gaza is the only wonder still in existence.


On 07-07-07, the new 7 Wonders of the World by the 7Wonders Foundation were announced. I had the great opportunity (b'day gift from Mom & Dad) to travel to China in 1997 and toured one of the new 7 wonders, the Great Wall of China. It was an awesome and challenging STEEP climb to the top and back. It was breathtaking to see the vast scenery and the skills of the people that built the Great Wall. In Xian, I stood in awe when I visited the burial site of Terracotta Warriors. Marveled at the beauty of the site. Mom & Dad were in China & Russia 10 years before and came back with lots of FUNtastic stories and photos. We all brought back lifetime of "aha" & "wow" memories from our TEErific travel experiences.

The 7Wonders Foundation has a new project of selecting the New 7Wonders of Nature. The foundation has 77 nominees and has a online voting site 7Wonders Live Ranking to cast your vote until December 31, 2008. I am proud to say that the Philippines has 4 in the top 10 wonders of nature. Maricar from Filipina Soul has a TEErific write up & videos on the sites.

Go ahead, wow yourself when you travel. There's a lot of TEErific places in our world that will leave you in awe. Happy Traveling!!!
