say hi to Gina Lollobrigida for me when you're there next time. Tell her to stop up and see me sometime (I know Mae West originally said that, but they both have similar nice large breasts, so who's counting?..not me)
OK, unc. Give me a bit of time to find out where to hide next. Are you surprised I won this time?  |

wow, guys...I'm impressed with those guess. I would LOVE to go to the Philippines one day soon; so many gorgeous locations. And I have a soft spot for octupi, they are so smart and cute...and taste good. But I'm in neither of those places at this time.

you old rock head! Yes, I'm on Hadrian's Wall
 Hadrian's Wall is a stone and turf fortification built by the Roman Empire across the width of what is now northern England. Begun in 122, during the rule of emperor Hadrian, it was the middle of three such fortifications built across Great Britain, the first being from the River Clyde to the River Forth under Gnaeus Julius Agricola and the last the Antonine Wall. All were built to prevent raids on Roman Britain by the Pictish tribes (ancient inhabitants of Scotland) to the north, to improve economic stability and provide peaceful conditions in Britain, and to mark physically the frontier of the Empire. Hadrian's Wall is the best known of the three because its physical presence remains most evident today. A significant portion of the wall still exists, particularly the mid-section, and for much of its length the wall can be followed on foot by Hadrian's Wall Path or by cycle on National Cycle Route 72. It is the most popular tourist attraction in Northern England, where it is often known simply as the Roman Wall. It was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. English Heritage, a government organization in charge of managing the historic environment of England, describes it as "the most important monument built by the Romans in Britain". The Romans used natural features in the landscape to help the functionality of the wall and make it somewhat easier to build:   |

Cool, did a paper on the "Wall" years ago. I actually have some Roman coins that were found buried near it.
OK, find me.
