Dang, no wonder you're tired! Great pictures...where was the village where your ancestors were from?
I love the pictures! Made the list a lot of fun.
Bletsoe, England. We changed the spelling of our name when we moved to America. When my grandmother was alive they asked her to come and open the fair one year because she was the oldest living relative. The Bletsoe castle (which looked more like a big house) had burned down the year before I got there so I never saw it.
We got a picture of my cousin in front of the Bletsoe stud farm sign. His last name is still the American version of Bletsoe so it was cute.

If this isn't a bucket list, what it is?
This list is for "normal" people. I'm the kind of wierdo that gave up my only day in Rome to go to Pompeii instead. Pompeii was on my bucket list. Rome, not so much.
It is a neat idea though. It reminds me of some of the many things I did when I was younger; I'd forgotten.
STS - yes this is probably a bucket list. Just not my bucket list. What would I put on a bucket list... hmmm, might be a good future post!
