Grugger’s Way

I am going to hold off on putting a “total” number with the names of places I would like to see; so this post is not entitled “Top Ten” anything.

There are many famous landmarks around the world that I HAVE seen, and the experiences were usually wonderful.  I am kind of a geography/history/architecture/archeaology/el corrida afficionado, so landmarks, “wonders” of the World, and such are big in my mind.

First of all I want to see Wrigley Field.   Okay, so it may not be a “wonder” of the world, but who knows how long it will stand?  For that matter, who knows how long I might stand?  In all probabability, Wrigley Field will be here (there–Chicago) way after I am gone from this world.  But then, that is what I always thought about Yankee Stadium too, and know I’ve had to just scratch that off my list!  Fenway Park is another landmark that I MUST see.  Since Boston is on my main list for Many Many reasons, Fenway Park is a good possibility…so long as they don’t demolish it for some brand new, chrome-y, stainless steely, concretee edifice that lacks all memory of Carlton Fisk, or Jim Rice (by the way, congratulations to Jim on Hall of Fame this year).

Before this gets all out of whack–sizeways. Here is my list.  I won’t add a lot of comment because…well, who cares WHY I want to see something before I die?  This is just a list that you might find interesting and consider for your own “bucket” list, so to speak.

• The Great Pyramid and the Sphinx
• Morocco
• Ghana
• New York and the Empire State Building
• Great Britain, London, Dublin, Glasgow
• The Fjords and Oslo Norway
• Paris and Eiffel Tower
• Castles in Romania, Austria and Germany
• The Matterhorn, Geneva and Zurich
• Copenhagen Denmark
• Hearst Castle (California)
• Boston and Fenway Park
• Chicago and Wrigley Field
• Disney World and Epcot

So that you don’t think I have left off some of the great places, I will mention that I have been to the French Riviera, Rome, Barcelona, Valencia, Malta, Athens, Crete, Tokyo, Nagasaki, Manila, Perth, Australia, Mexico, Hawaii, Seattle, New Orleans, San Antonio, Dallas, El Paso, Corpus Christi, Omaha, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Denver, Rapid City (Mt Rushmore), Pensacola, St. Augustine and Daytona, Myrtle Beach, Kitty Hawk, Virginia Beach, Philadelphia and Washington DC and points in between.
