Thanks for including me in the guest blog spot, even though I haven’t had time to check it out lately – I’m at a new job that’s slower now, so maybe I can get back on soon 🙂

I went here this past December for the first time & fell in love with the city (especially the tax-free shopping!!)…in fact, I’m going back this year in May & for Christmas! LOL

(Ed’s Note: Big ups to last week’s winnahz Takeshi (again!), t-roy, and Coconut Willy! Also, to my Irish bruthas and sistahs (and errrbody else in between)… Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🙂 )

Points for…
* Name of City: 1 point
* Name of nearby river: 1 point
* Type of animal on sign: 1/2 point
