240729 Sights Around the World

There are sights I’d love to see before I die, but I never will see them.

Those sites are: The countries of Ireland and Scotland.

In Ireland I would like to go to County Cork, where my grandmother came from. I would also want to see Kilkenny Castle in Ireland

In Scotland I would want to see the castles there. This one is Balmoral Castle in Scotland.

I would like to explore the Aztec pyramids in Mexico. I would spend days roaming about that site.

Perhaps the Mayan pyramids in Mexico would be even better. Their pyramids were taller and more refined than the Aztec pyramids.

On to the Golden Pagota of Burma (now called Myanmar) those are maybe the most magnificent shrines of all.

On to Japan. There are countless Buddhist shrines along the northern coast of Japan. I would want to see as many as I could see. I was in Japan several times but never got any further away than to see Tokyo from the naval base in Yokosuka.

The Sensoji Temple in Japan.

And finally Key West, Florida. I would like to see the author Hemmingway’s home there. It is said to be magnificent!
