I was thinking about Laurens, and you could be more expedient with completing your list if you combined "Sex in the Library" with "Kiss in the Rain" by pumping in the library and setting off the sprinkler system while you're there.


No, not the same. Sprinkler does not equal rain.


And if skinny dipping was one of yours (I don't think it is, but it's on mine) you could bring an inflatable pool to the library and then you could knock out three in one.

At the beach near my home they have a special winter swimming place. There's an engine to keep the water open bubbling away under surface, a special jetty with a kind of carpet on it, lights, the works. The sea is not frozen yet, so it's a bit disappointing at the moment, but some die-hards swim there all year round. It's not for me, though!

well, Wendy, if you want to see a real Christmas Market, you'll have to come to Germany (or go to Austria).
And I realise I posted this like 4 months too late, but well...

Well the real name would be "Christkindlmarkt", but that's hard to pronounce even for some Germans ;)

Ok, so, Christmas Markets are street markets starting 4 weeks before Christmas & ending on Dec 24. You can buy arts&crafts stuff, (not so) traditional ornaments, christmas-y presents, and get lots and lots of food and mulled wine and candied toasted almonds (delicious!), Lebkuchen (like gingerbread, just better! ;D), and usually you are just flooded with this "now is Christmas" atmosphere and you buy stuff you didn't want and eat way too much, and you get dizzy from the music (oh yes, there's music), and then some child drinks their mother's mulled wine and gets sick on your coat and you go home. ;)

There should be some similar markets in the U.S. I'm pretty sure Chicago has one, I saw a documentary abour some German immigrants going there ;)

oh and they look like this these days:
