Some of my memories and thoughts:

• Francis of Assisi- I always thought he was a wonderful man but modern history has not been kind to him.. Some people today think he is a kook.
• Fire Drills- as a high school principal, I pulled the fire alarm at least 100 times and every time I heard that siren blare through the building, I was panic just a bit and then the moment turned in to a cheap thrill.
• Falling Waters- Pittsburgh, PA- Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece.  Go see it.
• Forbidden City- Beijing, China- 2012

• Finger Lakes- NY- i want to kayak through here.
• Floating Markets- Viet Nam- I can never get used to how some people work.
• Front Porch- my parents' home in Philadelphia had a large front porch that we treated like a second living room.  In the warm months, we would finish dinner and head to the porch for a cup of tea,  We would stay out there until the bugs became annoying.
• Frankfurt, Germany- I've been here twice and mostly I drank beer in the Old City Square and it was a lovely way to spend time.
