That is also a beer I believe and not the name of this town.

If you like cars you might find yourself visitng this city.

OK, so Porsche and Mercedes Benz fans must be taking the day off of the game.

Second biggest beer festival in the world, goes by the name Cannstatter Volksfest. (that's where I was).

Neckar River
Schlossgarten and Wilhelma Zoo

Any idea on the city yet?

Sleepy chef wins. Stuttgart is the city. I can recommend that if you have a hankering for an Oktoberfest to go there. Much less touristy and a more local feel.

And if you like cars, museums are good too.

Umm.. I don't know about the others, but I find this picture is particularly lacking in __any__ features that might make it distinct...

It was the Kingfisher beer that led me to India and Goa was a wild guess. You won't find this on the menu just anywhere, but it was on the menu here and on my plate.

That may be the most unattractive plate of food I've seen since I had cow's lung and some small spherical objects served up to me on one occasion. I'm going to guess it may be somewhere like Sweden.

Isn't that half a goats head? Morocco? I think I saw that on one of those travel shows but can't recall where.

I was in Kuala Lumpur on business and mistakenly said to the locals... Take us to where you would eat lunch so we can have some traditional food. Only did that once!!!

Been to the area and know of this but since I don't have any photos I'll let someone else go for it.

The markers are individualized and thus unique, good story behind them. Zoom in a bit for detail
Xrayman, I thought you’d get this one!

Is that the Cutty Sark? I thought she was landlocked?

No, not old Ironsides. I have got a few photos of USS Constitution which I was thinking of using.. I'm actually hoping to get the town name as I can't remember the name of the ship! First clue... it is a long way from me and nearer to Fran than jphart (if both your ttol locations are correct)

Further clue... Same State as USS Constitution.

I had also thought of Mystic Seaport in Conn. OK, so we're talking Mass. Hmmm, I know there's a seaport museum in Bedford but I imagine there are others.
