90 million votes later, the seven wonders of the world were officially voted on and named this past Saturday (thanks for the heads up, Lena).
The man-made monstrosities that were given the honors of being some of the top wonders of the world were:

• The Great Wall of China • Petra in Jordan



• Brazil's statue of Christ the Redeemer




• Peru's Machu Picchu


• Mexico's Chichen Itza pyramid


• The Colosseum in Rome (donezo!)



• India's Taj Mahal

How many have I seen? One.
I hear the tourism dollars rolling in to each respective nation as word spreads about the worldwide vote.

Full story here.

Great post! Great idea! Let me say how much of a punk I feel like for taking off w/out saying bye! The shoot lasted longer than I thought and when I got back in I took off
:( Sorry!

I've seen two! The pyramid in Chichen Itza (which is REALLY hard to walk down, but surprisingly not bad to walk up) and the Coliseum in Rome.

Don't think I'll be making it to Jordan or India. But the others are still possibilities.
