Guesses for new set:
1. Thailand
2. Bermuda Triangle, I would guess
3. trolley
4. no idea, 4
5. France - we were in Monaco some years ago, and had figured out just how tiny it is, and Bigdog had just found out to his dismay that he was partially of French heritage, so I had brought along red berets for the occasion IF we figured out how to walk into France, and I have a photo of him (somewhere) standing in France in his red beret. There was no border separation whatsoever, and you had to look on a local map to even know you had passed into France.
6. 4
7. 7
8. Like a Rolling Stone - we saw the movie; it was good.
9. Danube
10. free radicals
