Thursday Thirteen 8/7/08 - 29th Edition



Thirteen Bodies of Water I've Been In, On or Over

There are a lot more, but these are the first thirteen that come to mind.
  1. Lake Michigan - Chicago side and Indiana Dunes side lots of summer days
  2. Chicago River - from a Wendella Boat, many, many times but never enough
  3. Sister Lakes - Sister Lakes, Michigan
  4. Mississippi River - the awesome and so very much homey Quad Cities, both Iowa and Illinois sides (often while playing roulette on the riverboats - who me?)
  5. North Atlantic - Ogunquit, ME
  6. Gulf of Mexico - Treasure Island, FL (near Tampa, FL)
  7. North Pacific Ocean - Japan side
  8. Tokyo Bay - from tour boat (picture at top of the linked page)
  9. North Pacific Ocean - California, Oregon and Washington side (like these pictures/posts)
  10. Puget Sound - ferry to Vashon Island, WA for a romantic rendezvous dear to my heart
  11. Victoria Harbor - Hong Kong
  12. South China Sea - Malaysia
  13. Straits of Johor - on causeway between Singapore and Malaysia
Have you been to any of these?
Which bodies of water have you been in, on or over?

Today is smoke-free day 417, and I'm still counting.

You've been to a lot of amazing and beautiful places! I can count lots of bodies of water I've seen or been in/over but they're almost all right around the U.S. One exception, the English Channel, was not nearly as exciting as traveled by the "Chunnel Train" as by boat. :)

Danielle said...
