There is a new website out to choose the modern 7 wonders of the world since only one of the ancient 7 wonders actually still exists. Check this out and then vote. http://www.new7wonders.com

My sister sent me the information below.


Here’s the first link to read about the purpose of this website -- http://www.new7wonders.com/fileadmin/resources/KIDS_Origins_Sheet.pdf



Then you want to read about each of the first 7 wonders so go to http://www.new7wonders.com/index.php?id=427 It was the only place I saw on the site that told me about the ancient 7 in some detail.


Then learn about each of the 21 candidates in the running for the 7 new wonders of the world. Or you can go to the home page and read shorter histories of each one of them and then along with billions of people in the world, vote on the 7 you think should be the “New 7 Wonders of the World.”

Cool!

I've been to Angkor, The Colosseum, Stonehenge, The Statue of Liberty, The Acropolis, The Eiffel Tower, Chichen Itza, The Kremlin, Hagia Sophia, Neushwanstein Castle, Sydney Opera House, and The Great Wall of China.

Narrowing that list down to seven is hard! They're all worthy.

Stonehenge, Angkor, Macchu Piccu, Petra, Pyramids of Giza, and The Great Wall of China should definitely be on the list.

I'd love to see all the others!
