Deborah, a fellow ST blogger, posted a list of 43 beautiful and interesting city squares, plazas and piazzas from around the world. She has challenged her ST friends and bloggers to count the ones we have visited.

The rules:
Copy this list into your own blog and put an asterisk after each city square you've actually spent time in. (Riding past in a taxi or bus doesn't count.) Please include the link back to my blog in your own entry and don't forget to come back to and leave me a comment so I can find your blog and admire your count.
