winner winner!

chicken dinner. thanks to everyone who took a stab at matching my feet to their corresponding attractions. i didn't realize it would be such a challenge. actually, i knew it would be hard. just didn't know anyone would take it so seriously...until i got an email from a friend's husband at 1:00am their time with the subject line "this is bethany at 1:00am thanks to your feet puzzle. :)" and this picture attached:

this is serious stuff, people.

after triple checking because the race was so close, we do have a winner:

Laura!

with 23 correct out of 36, she beat out #2 by just one pair of feet! laura i have your prize and i'll drop it off soon. ryan actually won, but i disqualified him before he even entered. he was with me for 34 of the pictures! and, he nearly flipped his lid when he didn't get 100%. he got over it. 

i'm nearly sorted through london pictures and a post is coming soon, but i decided to play play play with miss ribbons today instead. forgive me?

Cannot wait to see all the pictures from the trip! Glad all my googling Europe paid off.

I confess, I took one look at the post and realized I wouldn't have enough time to do the research - which my competitive nature would have required - so I just enjoyed the pictures. Congrats to Laura!

haha! I'll admit it...I tried. After two hours, and only about 12 answers, I gave up. :)
