Adrian, not Messina but Sleepychef was extremely close with Sardinia. A good baseball pitcher, or cricket bowler, could probably hit this place from Sardinia.

Fran, sorry I overlooked your guess, but Sicily is not correct. As far as Garibaldi goes, I just looked him up on Wikipedia and he was all over the world, but even though he has a monument here, it made no mention of him ever being in the place I posted.

Carol, as I said before, I'm not overly concerned about this but I checked and my computer time is also set for NY and I am having the same issue as Fred, albeit intermittently. Who knows what causing this. I think computers may have a mind of their own sometimes.

Fred, I recall he was some kind of big shot in Sicily for a while that's why it came to mind.

After a little more thought, if you're looking toward Oil Nut then perhaps Prickly Pear near the Sandbox?

Just a laugh, I posted the previous less than an hour ago, it is now 7:29 PM my time (east coast) but the timer says I posted it at 10:16 yesterday. Yes, I checked my computer settings.

OK, I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel for pictures and not many players left, but here goes.

Guess no one recognizes the previous photo, so maybe this will provide a better clue.

Fred, neither one gives me any idea. Our fellow players are dropping like flies.

Fran--I don't recognize either photo but I don't have any photos to contribute, even if I did... I think that's a good part of the problem. We need to recruit some new players..

I'm still playing, but don't have any idea either. I'll guess Portugal.

Adrian, not Portugal so I'll provide another picture. I agree with Carol and Fran that it was better when more were playing and was actually a good learning experience. TTOL folks are literally world travelers. I'm sure that someone has been here:

I've probably been there Fred as there aren't many towns on the Med coast of France I haven't been to. However, that brings a problem... Unless they are really memorable I can't remember them any more!

Looking at the white cliff picture could we be in the north of France? Not sure, but if there are white cliffs in Dover, might be some in the north of France?

I keep checking in, but I hesitate to guess on some of these!
