Bucket list: part III

Writing this bucket list has taken a surprisingly long time – although it has been fun to think about. I plan to refer to it again and hopefully cross off at least a few things this year. In writing it, I’ve been trying to remember some things that I’ve thought about doing before, but pushed to the back burner.

So here are some more things I’ve come up with:
67) Write a fan letter to someone famous and get a response
68) Spend a whole day painting/drawing
69) Take a homeless person out for lunch
70) Participate in a large-scale public art installation
71) Build something useful from wood
72) Be able to hold conversations in at least 5 languages
73) (Adopted from V’s suggestion) Sing another country's national anthem, in its original language (he says English language anthems don’t count)
74) Attend a pro-football game in the States
75) Attend a pro-football (soccer) game in South America, Europe or Africa
76) Attend at least some of a cricket match in India
77) Attend the Brier or the Tournament of Hearts
78) Watch a sepak takraw (Thai kick-volleyball) match live
79) See a Broadway production, on Broadway
80) Go to a drive-in movie
81) Eat fresh, wild strawberries

Okay, I’m stumped for new things. So for my last 19 things on the bucket list I’m going to put things that I have already done, but would definitely like to do again.
82) See the Northern lights
83) Sleep under the stars
84) Spend several days canoeing and camping away from all sounds of traffic and industry
85) See the Himalayan mountains
86) Walk through rice paddies
87) Live in Paris
88) Ride a camel in the desert
89) Climb a mountain
90) Go star-watching at an observatory
91) Midnight walk on a beach
92) Follow kangaroos in a pickup truck
93) Serve a meal at a soup kitchen
94) Install my own or a collaborative piece of public art
95) Spend a day reading and writing in a cabin by a lake
96) Go night-swimming
97) Canoe by moonlight
98) Eat a 7+ course dinner
99) Explore the Costa Brava
100) Go long-distance hiking in Europe
