Miscellaneous things

Did you know...

That tomatoes came from Central and South America?

Edinburgh is slightly farther north(55.55) in latitude than Copenhagen(55.40), making it the farthest north I have ever been in the world (besides in an airplane)?

Berwick-upon-Tweed is on the border between England and Scotland, but is apparently officially in England?

We discussed all of these fascinating things (and more) on the 4 hour train ride up to the conference.

Comments:
How is your pronunciation of edinboro coming along Brian?
 
A bit poor, I think. However, Mary said English people don't say it right either. :) I have left the conference now though. On my way to Madrid. I can pronounce that one!
