Award in your shell-like

AnElephantCant refuse anything from the very wonderful Christina at http://reconstructingchristina.com/2012/07/29/the-very-inspiring-blogger-award/ 

She has kindly nominated  him for this award which he accepts with as much grace as he can muster. To be frank, AnElephantCant muster much. It’s the ears, you see, and the feet. Not to mention …….

Now for the RULES to follow when nominated for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award:
1. Display the award logo on your blog.
2. Link back to the person who nominated you.
3. State 7 things about yourself.
4. Nominate 15 other bloggers for this award and link to them.
5. Notify those bloggers of the nomination and the award’s requirements.

So, 7 hopefully not too dull facts:
Went to Turin, Italy to buy a briefcase
Rode on a tandem through a forest in Frankfurt
Went to school in foreign language (Afrikaans)
Saw Leonard Cohen live at Edinburgh Castle
Travelled on airboat through the Everglades
Sailed into Sydney Harbour
Had a pet chameleon
