EllenS - definitely stay in Greece
Head to Porto Heli and take a right North

There are also sorts of things and places to see in the region if you like antiquity.
But I found my best meal in Greece in this small city

And then I walked the 999 steps

18 hours are up!
Google is legal
sleepychef has shown great patience
and also provided some pretty good clues

are you visiting Palamidi Castle, Nafplio?

and Beerman stole it !!! Well done

Thank you for your patience!! Like sleepychef I've been known to hitch a ride....where was I?

The Beerman is Up!
I loved this city!

I had the most fun in Nafplio and on the island of Kythnos on our Greece trip.
I do not think either are in the top places to see in Greece
Maybe that is why I liked them

Doesn’t it say St John on the back walk?

I see St Ohn......but where on St Ohn??

St John USVI?

Coral Bay?

Or way down east end

I knew it wouldn’t last long, but I miss that island especially the quiet side. They painted over that mural years ago unfortunately. It sits by the Moravian church. Go Toast!!

I was just in St John beginning of August, was heavenly, despite it still being 2020...lol.

Here goes, my first choice I deleted was too obscure. This one was my Son's only request to visit on our vacation in 2016....

Not even one guess? I will give a hint, on the continent of Europe.......

Is this a statue of Icarus?

Don't fly too close to the sun! Is it in France?

No.

It is not in France and has very little to do with the "Sun" ...
Hint, good thing this statue is actually in a "fountain"......

Toast - would it be a fallen angel that vive en España

I am almost 99.9% it is near the Crystal Place in Madrid.
Our hotel last year was about a 1/2 mile away and we spent lots of time walking in the parks and botanical gardens

Tom B you have it correct, the fallen Angel in Retiro park right by the Crystal Palace, I thought the fountain clue would help.
YOu are it!

ps, I wasn't thirlled that the number one thing my son wanted to find was a statue of the devil.....

just read it sits 666 feet above sea level...eeeeesh

Well folks have you ever had a rum punch in this location

I don't recognize it, but I'm guessing maybe USVI?

Carol,

Nope not the USVI
Special place when the moon is right!

Bomba Shack?

Nope xrayman it is not in the BVI either

The picture I posted was pre-hurricane Irma
However the facility has been rebuilt - looks better, but still the same

Actually never been there myself, but is it Bankie Banx bar?

Carol, That's a great guess. i was going to say somewhere in the Grenadines.

I think I've been there and it is on Anguilla. Can't remember the name though.

Anguilla is where Bankie Banx's joint is. I think Carol was correct.

I think I need to put it on the list, looks fun.

Carol is indeed correct!
It is Bankie Banx's Dune Preserve on Anguilla
I have spent some real quality time there!

Home of Moon Splash festival the largest music festival in the Caribbean
Moon Splash 2007

I had to laugh Mike when you said I could not remember the name...
maybe you had the other punch ;(

All righty then! First one I've gotten right in some time! Have a couple of pictures I'm thinking about...

Well, shoot, the picture I wanted is at home, I guess.

So, this one should be easy!

A glacier in Alaska

Sort of, and not the name of the glacier. The name of the body of water.

Ah, that explains it!

Looking online now I can see from the location that I have indeed been there. Also Gwen's on the other coast. I remember Gwen's as I left pretty soon after arriving due to the miserable staff and poor service. That was probably 12-15 years ago so worth another visit for the location if nothing else.

No way! i did not know that...

I think Alaska also, we saw Portage Glacier?, but it was smaller than that

Mike,

The times we have been there it has really never been crowded enough to worry about service or really did not care because we were going to be there for a while.

Sundays are great afternoons to be at the Dune Preserve - Bankie has Sunday School.
Local Players take the stage and Bankie normally joins them for a few songs.
I cannot take too much sun anymore so Janet hangs on the beach and I do the shade in the Dune Preserve.

I am not real fond of the monkey that hangs around, but it is has been awhile since I was there - maybe he is gone.

If you can, a great day to be on Anguilla is their Independence Day, which is May 30th.
I would definitely plan my next trip to be on AXA that day.
Just fun and a great sail race. Here are some shots from the day Anguilla eXcellent Adventure - Race Day

That place is familiar
