I got the idea for this list from a postcrosser I sent an
official card to. Her name is Marta and her list is at
fotograffarte. It took me almost three weeks to come up with my list. I'm starting the 1001 days tomorrow since today is already more than half over. So, the 1001 days will be Monday, December 15, 2008 to Sunday, September 11, 2011.
