I'm ripping this off of the other list that covers all the lists Listologists would like to see. To whoever that was, thanks!
This is much more difficult than I anticipated. For example, I want to list a Vietnamese Pho Restaurant, but V,P, and R are taken, and all the restaurant titles usually begin with "Pho".
I liked this list. I copied it and made my own list of cool places with the alphabet. I loved Paris too. I also went to Vancouver a few years ago and went over to Victoria. It is beautiful out there. For B- I wanted to put Buchard Gardens which is out near you. I wanted more B's. I wanted to trade in a Z for a B.
Yeah, I don't know who it was who originally suggested this kind of list, but I thought it was a great idea. It was much harder than I anticipated. I wanted more V's, P's, and G's. Actually, I could think of several for a few of these, and I ended up making a list of ALL my favourite places, picking the most important, and trying to slot them into the alphabet. It took some juggling.
I read your list yesterday - nice one. I've never been to Ixtapa, but I studied a bit of it in Archaeology. Is it really spelled Xtapa, or are you cheating a bit? If you are, I won't blame you one iota. ;)
