I've actually done two things on the list - learn violin (well, viola actually) and go to the Amazon. Viola's tough, but it's cool to think people can be, like, amazing at it. And the Amazon is absolutely amazing. See if you can hold a caiman - it's really cool! Oh, and don't pee while you're swimming.

Nice list - I want to do many of those things. You want to plan a kayaking trip to Mexico together?
