New 7 Wonders of the World Now Revealed ~ Update
Today will be the last day you have to vote on the New 7 Wonders of the world. Hadn't heard of this until this morning ~ but I am going to check it out and place a vote.
Beginning of today's article:

By ELAINE ENGELER and ALEXANDER G. HIGGINS, Associated Press Writers Thu Jul 5, 3:33 PM ET
GENEVA, Switzerland - The Great Wall of China, the Colosseum in Rome and Peru's Machu Picchu are leading contenders to be among the new seven wonders of the world, as a massive poll draws to a close with votes already cast by more than 90 million people, organizers say.

As the 8 p.m. EDT Friday voting deadline approaches, the rankings can still change. Also in the top 10 are the Acropolis in Greece, Chichen Itza pyramid in Mexico, Eiffel Tower in Paris, Easter Island, Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Taj Mahal in India and Jordan's ancient city of Petra.
The winners will be announced on Saturday in Lisbon, Portugal.
The Great Pyramids of Giza are the only surviving structures from the traditional list of seven wonders of the ancient world. That list was derived from lists of marvels compiled by ancient Greek observers, the best known being Antipater of Sidon, a writer in the 2nd century B.C.

Would like to have seen Easter Island get it as well as the Acropolis. That's just me mind & I never voted.

Re: New 7 Wonders of the World Now Revealed ~ Update
I didn't vote either and I really meant to... I put it up in here and thought I would wait and me and the kids would vote (cause I knew it would turn into a fun debate and silliness) and then I forgot about it...
meant to and forgot ~ story of my life. I need to zip into the risque for a dose of our meds I think
Hope things are well you soon to be 10 dollar voucher from freebie friends winner
and... I hope herself has you take some pictures of the flowers you haven't put any up recently (hint hint hint)
anyways have a great night/day depending on when you see this

I thought the very same thing ~ I can't even imagine being able to see those places live and in person... Traveled a lot as a kid with the family, but haven't done near as much of it as I would have like with my kiddos. Hopefully the baby and I will get out and about and if the boys decide they want to join us that's a bonus.
