By the time you got to Woodstock, you were lost

- You may have heard about Woodstock but if you know someone who loves it and who went, ask them where it was. It wasn't at Woodstock, NY. It was in a part of the town knows as Bethel. By the time I got to Woodstock, you were at the wrong place.

- Abraham Lincoln did not write that famous address on the back of an envelope nor did he do it on a train. Do it means, write it. The train ride was too bumpy and he had it done before the trip.

- Cleopatra an Egyptian? Nope.

- As Halloween approaches, let's remind each other that Frankenstein was the mad scientist and not the monster. Oh, but he could have been considered a monster with what he did, I suppose.

- We have all seen Atlas holding up the world. Well, he should only be holding up the sky if we paid any attention in class. Wait, I did and they told us the world idea.

What's something special about Woodstock? Are there great places to see in the said city, if there is then I will be planning to visit it and see it for myself! You were right, because most of the people would think that the place you're referring is the one from New York. They wouldn't know it was in Bethel. I am planning to travel next month, but still unsure of the place I should go. I am still on my planning stage and I want you to know that you helped me here!
