I remember this main highway with horror. It turned into a 1-way thoroughfare going into town during the morning rush hour and an outbound road in the afternoon rush hour. But during the transition period the local lax attitude towards traffic regulations made it a nightmare to attempt in the middle lanes. A real-life game of "chicken". Considering that the locals accept driving on the sidewalk to avoid dense traffic to be acceptable this road was definitely scary...

xrayman67 has got it - it is indeed Bogotá, the capital of Columbia. The first picture is from the Gold Museum

Except for the palm trees in the background, I would say my mom's house in Indiana!! laugh She has about two dozen wind turbines that she can see from her house!

Not Hawaii. The last pic is not from the best angle. I'll post another pic in a little while.

Located directly across the channel from Old San Juan is the Barcardi Rum Factory. There are 2 wind turbines on the premise. A fun place to visit! Fran is up!

I don't remember there being any wind turbines at the Bacardi Factory, but it has been a few years since we were there. GREAT place to visit, so long as you're walking afterward!! grin toast

No, not Bermuda, I'd think somewhere around a couple of thousand miles or so SW.

ndfan--I really doubt it is Aruba, just not that many trees there. My guess would be somewhere in South America.

Not Costa Rica but you're a lot closer. Now go north a few hundred miles and stay in the water.

I've never been there, but that party boat looks like a fun reason to go. OK, I'm going to start the next round by requesting the name of the village/political subdivision in the country. If no guesses, I'll broaden out later.

Not to hijack your game but here's a closer look at the party boat. That was going to be my next shot.

Fran, you are correct and I completely overlooked it-not the first time I've done this. I guess that makes you up.

Nah, you continue on. I don't have anything right now anyway and besides, I don't know exactly where in St Lucia. Perhaps Soufriere
