I need to get a passport



Today, in my cold winter gloominess, I came across this website which lists the 100 Most Beautiful Places in the World. Allegedly. I wouldn't know because I've never even left the United States.

Although I have been to three out of the 100--Yellowstone (#42), Sequoia National Park (#82), and The Golden Gate Bridge/San Francisco Bay (#97)!

Lately, it has become a habit of mine to search for pictures of random beautiful places - places I would much rather be in February than Ohio (and, usually, I'll send my favorite pictures to the boyfriend, just in case he should ever win the lottery!)

So, according to this list, the top ten most beautiful places in the world are:

1) Machu Picchu in Peru



2) Iguazu Waterfalls in Brazil/Argentina



3) The Taj Mahal in India (which is my #1)

4) Pyramids in Egypt




5) Grand Canyon



6) Serengeti park in Tanzania



7) The Nabatean city of Petra in Jordania



8) Great Wall of China

9) Victoria Waterfalls in Zimbabwe/Zambia




10) Great Barrier Coral Reef in Australia



And, coming in at #13 is Niagra Falls...which I really want to visit during my summer break this year.
