  3. I know that I would like to hear on your blog what each family member's favorite sight and food was, for each country/area that you visit. It helps to personalize it more, and gives us an idea of where we might want to visit, if we could! I am really enjoying your blog so far!!.

  6. I saw a few of these in Newfoundland... but in worse shape. Definitely for a lighthouse light.

  8. I think you should post a message telling people the best way to post comments. Because someone just posting from a browser may not fit the categories listed, and if they select Name/URL and put their name in the field, it never gets to the author and they get no message or indication that their post was not sent/received
