Around the World in 26 Letters--X Marks the Spot


It would be fun to go on a treasure-hunt-inspired trip, don't you think? I wonder if they have those.

Do you know of any great X destinations?

  1. Good job on X Marks the spot--X had to be a tough one. We've made treasure maps with the kids--it's a fun project for them.

  3. That would be so cool! I am almost positive I'd get lost though - my map reading skills are no good!

  7. Some of the X cities listed in the back of my atlas (which was printed in 1985, but not that dated where it really counts) are Xánthi, Greece; Xilitla, Mexico; Xochimilco, Mexico; and a whole bunch of cities in China, among them Xinyang, Xuzhou, Xining, Xigaze, and Xuanhua.

  8. I used to dream of it when I was a kid. Of course, I was convinced I'd be the next Indiana Jones. lol And I used to comb the beaches for some evidence of buried pirate treasure. I think the hunt is more fun the actually finding anything. It's that childlike hope and belief that it can be done.
