Of course, here in Alaska, we all have our own fair share of odd pronunciations such as the silent t at the start of words like Ptarmigan or Tlinget (which is pronounced Klinket). I try not to laugh like my mom did at me!Elise Davishttp://eliselorraine.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-89720016554379435052012-04-12T07:33:45.086-04:002012-04-12T07:33:45.086-04:00Did my photo of the Brooklyn Bridge come through? ...Did my photo of the Brooklyn Bridge come through? I was jazzed to see and recognize the sign from the bridge - this kid from California had the time of her life when she spent four or five days in NYC three years ago - kid in a candy store - not unlike her visits to Washington DC -- I will be in NYC again in April - but only for three days - and my focus is the wedding of my nephew - but still.....<br />I really want to see those east coast beaches one of these years....sebtown294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-60478057468464512552012-04-12T07:33:41.696-04:002012-04-12T07:33:41.696-04:00It is pronounced exactly as it is spelled but to b...It is pronounced exactly as it is spelled but to break it down,<br />Fuh gedda boudit .

He is very familiar with the city. I am not a big fan. Too many people, too many tall buildings. I like the wide open spaces. And recently, too many memories of trip to the facility where Joe had to go for his chemo.<br />Trust me, a trip east just to visit the east coast beaches is well worth the trip, from Maine to Florida.LyndaGracenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1078324787471983933.post-30245884693736360522012-04-12T07:33:38.694-04:002012-04-12T07:33:38.694-04:00Had a great trip to The City about 5 years ago (fo...Had a great trip to The City about 5 years ago (for the 2nd time) with my niece. We walked across the Brooklyn Bridge into lower Manhattan. Too bad the lighthouse was closed when you were there.. David and I enjoyed visiting the lighthouses along the Oregon Coast last summer. We saw the ones from Astoria to Florence. Very charming.Napiligalnoreply@blogger.com
