20thStDad Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 NO idea, but I like it. Paris? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb320 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I was going to put Paris out there too. The Seine is not that wide though (to my recollection).Your trickle of clue(s) is running a little too slow for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinkaidAlum Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hmmmm. this is tough. I was leaning Amsterdam until I saw the hilly photo.I was then leaning towards Geneva/Zurich until I saw the museum looking photo. Now I have no idea. Copenhagen?

Porchman Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 All good guesses so far. Wrong, but good. Every city mentioned thus far has something essential in common with the subject of this Guessing Game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Hmmm... All of those cities would be members of the EU. Is it Brussels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porchman Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 Ottawa, ON, Soviet Canuckistan. We have a winnner! But we don't need the negative characterizations...ya know? PARLIAMENT THE CHATEAU LAURIER HOTEL THE SKYLINE ICE SKATING ON THE RIDEAU CANAL PARLIMENT HILL FROM A DISTANCE ALONG THE OTTAWA RIVER Other pics included the Tulip Festival, the Byward Market, Parliament Hill from the terrace of the Chateau Laurier, and the National Gallery. I also thought of putting in the distinctive Museum of Western Civilization, but technically that's in Gatineau, on the Quebec side of the River.

Highway6 Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 That hotel is something else.Good choice and good photos porchman.Good guess Rsb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KinkaidAlum Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Wow, I would have never guessed. I've driven by Ottawa but never stopped. Sorry I missed it.BTW, the jewel of North America has to be Quebec City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchtastic Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Wow, I would have never guessed. I've driven by Ottawa but never stopped. Sorry I missed it.BTW, the jewel of North America has to be Quebec City.really?? I guess I should visit. The only places in Canada I've been are Vancouver and Vancouver Island, which I completely loved. Do a lot of Americans visit Canada, other than those living near the border? I've always wondered. It just never seems to get pushed up to the top of my travel list. Hmmm. While it's 100 degrees here, Quebec could be the perfect summer long weekend.

Porchman Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 That hotel is something else. That hotel is fantastic if you have a Parliament view room and .7 USD=1 CAD. It's particularly fantastic if you've just spent five days in the woods with Quebecoise mosquitoes. (They hum in an odd way, and you swear they're griping that they're not really Canadian mosquitoes ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quebec City also just celebrated her 400th Birthday last year (1608-2008). Great architecture, French culture, hills/mountains, and the mega St Lawrence River. I had NO IDEA when I went there for the first time in my freshman year of college. It was about a 5 hour drive from where I went to school in NY state.
