84) Destination Wishlist

Following is a small list of places I would like to visit. I know I am leaving many off, but this is as far as I was able to get over lunch:
















Pyramids: I have always been intrigued by the pyramids. I like ancient stuff, and these simple and magnificent structures stand for no reason in the middle of the dessert. For that reason, I would like to touch them.

















Grand Canyon: I would like to go river rafting through the grand canyon, making sure to spend at least one night deep in the middle of the thing.



















Wurtzburg, Germany: I would like to visit Dirk Nowitzki's home town of Wurtzburg, Germany. I want a picture of me standing at the city limit wearing my Dirk jersey. Ok, maybe I do not need that picture, but I would like to see where my favorite athlete was born.




























Wallace Monument: Since Braveheart came out (saw it 5 times in the theater) I have been obsessed with William Wallace. In Stirling, the location of one of his finest victories, stands a monument just for him. I must see it.






















Taj Mahal: Supposedly this amazing structure is a mausoleum built in memory of an ancient shah's wife. She must have been an amazing woman.

















Old Trafford: I would like to visit Manchester, England to watch Manchester United play a game at Old Trafford. Not sure I want to do this to see the awesome display of skill, or if I will be more interested in watching the drunk, English fans getting worked up. Probably both.
