Tara's Top Choices for The Seven Wonders of the World

It is the opinion of the publisher of Tara's Blog (Happylilikoi.blogspot.com) that the Island of Santorini is the most incredible place where some believe the buried city of Atlantis is located. It is simply and unimaginably picturesque and nearly takes one's breath away. Because of it's beauty and historical value (which include the ancient Frescos, like the Fishermen) Santorini Island is top on the list of our favorite wonders of the world. 

Chitzen Itza also made the list. Did you know the Mayans who lived there created the calender that we currently use today? Follow the link for a lot more informati

on about this amazing place.

The Grand Canyon, what else can we say? The Colorado River runs approximately 277 miles through it, it's magnificence is spellbinding and for you adventuresome types, there is a glass skywalk (a horseshoe shaped, glass bottom deck that extends about 70 feet over the edge of the canyon). Check it out. 

Visible from outer space, The Great Wall of China extends approximately 4,000 miles! One part of the wall was guarded by a million men during it's peak and it's thought that 2 to 3 million chinese may have died during the building construction that lasted several centuries.

Niagra Falls also made the list of wonders. 188 feet high and 2200 

feet across, Niagra Falls has become the honeymoon capital of Canada. In 1901 a 63 year old woman become the first person to ride the falls. If you can believe it, she actually rode the falls in a barrel. Incredibly, she brought her CAT along! 

Contrary to popular belief, the Great Pyramids of Egypt were not built by slaves but by Egyptians themselves. There's a lot of information about the pyramids and Egypt if you follow this link.

Our seventh and final choice is Stonehenge. Although the original purpose of Stonehenge is unclear, it is obvious that it took a great deal of energy to create. Theorists speculate that Stonehenge was created as an astronomical calender, possibly a place of worship, and maybe a burial ground.
