Was it not obvious?

I think several people were actually considering the possibility.

Oppenheimer being your GF would have fit right in next to the untimely death of John Goodman.....

I've been no where exciting except to D.C. (the usual sites). I also went to the Alamo, but *yawn* that was a bore. I need to get out more. My problem is when I vacation I like to go to the beach.

I went to Machu Pichu last month, that was by far the coolest historical place I've ever been..

Well here's the Amazon link to the book. Like I said, it won the Pulitzer Prize in Autobiography/Biography in 2006.

American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer

That would be EXCELLENT.

I must admit, i'm even more impressed than i thought i would be with all of you Planeteers. Some globe spanning sumguns you all are, easily my most favorite non-football thread i've created.

The Ziggaraut of Ur is perhaps the most fascinating structure i've ever laid eyes on, that pic really draws me in.

I visited Germany this past summer and saw some very historical places...

Such as the rally grounds in Nuremberg. The platform you see is where Hitler stood, and I stood on that same platform. Chilling.

I also visited the Dachau concentration camp. Talk about a surreal experience. It was quite an emotional and gloomy day to be honest.

I know I've been to more than I remember but:

1. Washington DC - Smithsonian Musuems, War Memorials, Lincon Memorial, Washington Memorial, U.S. Capitol,
2. I've been on the Lewis and Clark Trail
3. The National Prisoner of War Museum at Andersonville National Historic Site
4. St. Augustine
5. Fort Leavenworth.
6. Hickam Field, Hawaii
7. Pearl Harbor
8. Liberty Hall, Philadelphia
9. Philadelphia Mint
10. Pro Football HOF
11. The Citadel, Halifax, Nova Scotia
12. Edinburgh Castle, Scotland
13. Loch Ness, Scotland
14. Lauriston Castle, Scotland
15. Cable Cars, San Francisco
16. Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii
17. Mt. St. Helens, Washington
18. Montecello
19?? Bermuda Triangle several times.

I'll have to dig through my files and find some of the other places I've been. Update to follow.
