Letl me start by telling you that I love your blog! I look forward to reading your entries. I agree with you about Jerusalem. And if I’m fortune enough to go back to college one of these days, I think my major will be in history.

I would remove Los Alamos to make room for Jerusalem. The ideas of the atomic age came from persons who were active in Chicago and New York prior to moving to Los Alamos. It was called the Manhattan project, after all. And if Dr. Jenner’s home town is included, why not Shrewsbury, England, birthplace of Charles Darwin? If it weren’t for Darwin’s theory, the Leakey’s may never have made it to the Great Rift Valley (1st choice), at all. Enjoyable to think about. Thanks.

I liked your article! I think that Jerusalem is at the top of the ‘must seen’ historical places. Mexico, Africa and China are the places that I’ve never been before and they seem really interesting. I have been in Athens, I liked it,too. But, I recommend you to see Istanbul, the city where I am from. I can definitely say that you’ll have the past and the present as well as the historical and the modern world at the same time. Believe me, there are many things to discover even if you are one of the locals. Next month, I will post about Istanbul. I hope it gives you an impression
