Wonders 1 and 2: Good Morning America
Yesterday I posted a photo of the skywalk, featured on Good Morning America’s 7 Wonders of the U.S. series and people wondered what the first two are.
The first wonder selected was the National Mall and National Park in Washington DC, a celebration of Democracy, “where American voices are heard.”
The second – and by far my favorite – was the Arctic National Wildlife Preserve, a brutal place where there are still huge herds of caribou, shaggy buffalo, polar bear . . . and where George Bush tells us we wouldn’t be paying so much for gas if we would only give him and the oil companies the go-ahead to go in and exploit the oil resources there. (See #1 George Bush – the American people raised their voices and said “NO!”)
The Grand Canyon was the third wonder announced.
There are still four more wonders to be announced. Good Morning America comes on America Plus Monday – Friday in the afternoon, maybe two or three in the afternoon, in case you want to catch the rest, or you can just click on the blue hypertext above where it says Good Morning America, and you will go to the ABC website for the Seven Wonders.




Interesting..
I love DC and the mall. The Lincoln monument is my favorite. It always makes me feel very emotional for some reason. Ahhh cherry blossoms!
…But my shopaholic (no pun intended LOL) streak emerges when I am in the beautiful Georgetown. Can’t wait to go back and visit soon.
Good Morning, ShoSho and Ms. B,
The wonder today is the Badlands, one of my favorite places in the US. Remote, isolated and more than a little dangerous. . .
