Great list. Thoughts:
I've heard of #8 and wanted to try one
I love #9 (I assume you mean Powell's, which I liked better than Europe's largest bookstore in the UK).
Re. #12, you guys like different foods, so I'm surprised. Vietnamese ranks with Thai and Indian for me--yum.
#15--I tried that a couple of years back in France. I'm glad I did, but don't love it.
#21--surprising
#26--first and last, I hope!
I'm glad you're my sister. Here's hoping you have 28 great adventures this year :-)
Loved this post! Hooray for a lifetime of firsts, and I hope you had a great birthday :)
What a fun thing to do on your birthday! Hooray for 16 miles too-I guess the big day is approaching! Too fun.
What a fun list! I have only a couple weeks left to being 27. Why does 28 seem so much older? :)
