Todd: Tennessee?Tenn: Yes.Todd: We're gonna talk about sports.Tenn: OK. I'm not big on sports but..Todd: OK. Well, that's OK. So you don't like sports?Tenn: Well, I like sports but I'm just not an avid sports watcher. You know I would usually rather watch a movie or some kind of history program.Todd: Oh, OK. So you're into history.Tenn: Oh, yes!Todd: OK. What kind of history?Tenn: That's a kind of a difficult question. I would say I'm interested-- primarily, I'm interested in ancient and medieval but I also like studying the history of the countries that I visit it makes it more interesting when I go sight-seeing.Todd: OK. What countries have you visited?Tenn: I've been to 26 countries.Todd: Really?Tenn: Yeah.Todd: Oh, OK. Yeah, you can't name them all.Tenn: The big ones I would say, I've been over a good bit of Europe, Mexico, Peru.. I spent almost a year in Egypt and I went to Isreal, Jordan and now I'm here in Japan. I've been here in Japan a year and a half. And while I have been here, I visited Korea for about a week.Todd: OK. Wow! That's a lot so did you do the Pyramids in Egypt?Tenn: Oh, yes. Actually, I climbed the pyramids.Todd: Oh, really? Nice. What's it like on the top?Tenn: Very, very interesting. You can see-- it was during the summer so the visibility was rather low.Todd: Oh, OK.Tenn: But, to see we were on The Great Pyramid and the Second Pyramid Kefron was right nearby and it is a very different perspective to see it from. Very interesting to be eye-level, to be on the same level as the top of that second pyramid.Todd: OK. Wow! So you were in Peru, right?Tenn: Yes.Todd: OK. What's the big thing people see in Peru?Tenn: Machu Pichu.Todd: Machu Pichu. OK. What is Machu Pichu?Tenn: Machu Pichu is the ruins of a city that was built by the Inca People.Todd: OK.Tenn: Maybe over six hundred years ago and was lost, no one knew what happened to it until it was recently discovered about a hundred years ago.Todd: OK. Wow. Nice. All right, thanks a lot David.Tenn: Sure!Todd: Or Tennessee.
