I have to say, not sure whether I can post a picture up next because most everything I have is St. Maarten/St. Martin. Will look for something tomorrow. All my pics from Europe are way pre-digital..

Technically it is two islands. Some say the best food in the Caribbean. We had some mighty fine meals when we were there. Classic French, Indian, and Caribe all marry to a cuisine that is absolutely amazing. We stayed on the blue side but hiked the green side extensively. Would love to return. “Every time I open a bottle of wine, it is an amazing trip somewhere!” José Andrés

The story takes place on a fictional island off the coast of Guadeloupe. If you have not seen it the first 5 or 6 seasons are on Netflix PBS just finished season 9 No judging! “Every time I open a bottle of wine, it is an amazing trip somewhere!” José Andrés

OP TomB Traveler Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 3,455 Virginia wishing STJ	I think we should set the rule that Google is allowed after 18 hours after the original post time and no correct guesses have been received So I say tomorrow at 1000 EST (1400 UTC) Google answers accepted. Of course we are on the honor system Is that fair? That should give plenty of time for those who have seen it and not a chance to guess. You know Travel Hat the night lurkers. What the heck we will make up the rules as we go.... I just hope I get another one right - I got a great idea! Hope you guys read the back story...

OP TomB Traveler Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 3,455 Virginia wishing STJ	Jeannius, Good Guess, but that is not the correct city. Einstein was born in the city Ulm, Germany. Ulm is the home of the tallest church in Europe... or the world... I cannot remember, but I do remember walking to the top. And I am scared to death of heights! But that is another story. Attached a funny statue that is in the square close to his house and a brick marking his birthplace in Ulm. Hint: The city where the stain glass resides is where US Army had their HQ following WWII (USAEUR). About ten years ago they moved it from this historic German city.
