We are all curious about the Wonders of the World
except my friend, Roger Fundab, who isn't interested in anything but hunting and fishing.
I've tried to get Roger interested by sending him to: [http://ce.eng.usf.edu/pharos/wonders/other.html] where all of the wonders are listed as I've shown below.
Travel And Leisure Magazine
At: [http://ce.eng.usf.edu/pharos/wonders/other.html] you can click on any of these wonders and learn what there is to know about them. I'll leave that process up to you.
