the travel list challenge

Morning, sweethearts. Thank you to those who read my last post, especially if you shared it with others and/or so eloquently commented. It was an incredibly powerful piece. In a stark contrast, today I'm taking part in a list challenge with 100 "must-see" places around the world. So glad Julie let me know about it!  I highlighted those I've been to and linked to its blog post if possible.

If you're a blogger and would like to take the challenge as well, just copy, paste, highlight, and let me know so I can check out your list :). Anywhere you've been that I haven't? Or any place we've both been that you just happened to love?

P.S. I hope you plan to celebrate National Grilled Cheese Day. Perhaps with this?
