Hang a sec. You went to Paris and didn't climb the Eiffel tower?
I was eight, and with my parents. They didn't want to climb, so I didn't get to climb. Next time, though.
So what famous person did you meet? I love this list. I'm surprised at how many things I've done. I'll trade you my post on Christmas Bells for this one...
Have a Merry Christmas!
Famous person is subjective. I thought they were famous when I met them. The list includes: Wales international full-back Joey Jones (football, not rugby), Indian field hockey captain Mohammed Shahid, Tamil movie producer/director K. Balaji, famed author Bobbie Goettler...you get the idea.
Ha! Well, okay, perhaps a bit premature in the fame department, but I'll take it. It's all relative anyway, right?
Love it!!
