Places where you want to sit



Places I'd like to sit
--Under the ledge on the Mushroom Islands
--In the cockpit of an airplane. Doesn't have to be actually flying.
--Directly under the St. Louis Arch
--In a race car. Doesn't have to be actually moving.
--On a tandem bike.

Three cool places I've sat
--On a bedbunk on a submarine.
--Front row seats behind home plate at Wrigley Field.
--In a kayak on a river.

There's something about sitting. Sure you can visit a place. But to actually sit down in it gives a higher level of intimacy. Plopping your dairy aire on the surface of the place gives you a sort of connection. Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry offers a submarine tour where you actually get to go on a WWII sub used by the Germans to shoot down numerous Ally ships. The entire tour is spent walking and standing listening to the tour guide. But I sat my little butt down on one of the sub's bunk beds. An experience to be had for sure! I felt like a German submariner. Eins Zwei Drei!

In the comments below, please answer the following:
Name three specific places you'd like to sit.
And three noteworthy places where you have sat.

i could have been on a bed on an aircraft carrier. They deactivated the USS Midway in the mid-90s and turned it into a museum. I decided not to lay on the bunks because it looked the soldiers never used sheets on their mattresses and it looked like they never washed the mattresses. " Filthy" and "Dirty" are two good words to describe the mattresses on the USS Midway.

Beware of laying down on submarine bedbunks. The old joke is that a sub leaves port with a crew of 150 -- and returns with 75 couples.
