Name That Place!

[smash]

The island has an airport, so Bligs better be able to get it, since he has almost uncanny knack for those, for some strange reason.

The clue Angelbaby left for the Louvre, Umgawa, was from Auteur Dan Brown, of the "The Da Vinci Code". In his book he claims that Mary Magdalene resides underneath the pyramid.

That was a softball puzzle if I ever did see one, AB.

I was going to throw The Hermitage out there next, but the satellite map of it totally blows.

Yeah, I had looked at it before as one that I would have posted, too.

Maybe it's a good thing. If one of us had posted it the other probably would have gotten it immediately.

Its not fair for me to guess this one, I almost used it.

Iwo Jima.

I'm looking forward to Clint's movie about the battle here.

Yeah, I read Dan Brown's Digital Fortress and declared it to be unquestionably the worst book that I have ever read in my entire life, so The DaVinci Code isn't anywhere on my must-read list.

I actually liked Digital Fortress for Dan Brown. It inspired me to send a certain mailing in code. Angels and Demons is certainly the much better version of The DaVinci Code at least more than The DaVinci Code ever could be. But it's kind of that 'everyone's doing it' mentality.

Someone post something or I'll steal your spot!

When did this thread become Name That Airport?



Oh wells...why fight it?

This place has a disasterous claim to fame.

Aeropuerto de Los Rodeos Tenerife, Canary Islands

When I saw Bligs was on, I figured this one would go fast.

Almost 30 years ago, 583 people were killed here when two 747s collided on the ground in what is still the worst aviation accident in history.

Interestingly, the accident can be seen as an indirect result of terrorism.

I don't know why but I seem to have a knack for airports...I guess its like Smash and school zones.


You put your left foot in you put your left foot out...

[AngelBaby]

The Ka'bah (or Kaaba), Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

Not a place you want to try and visit as a tourist...

[Bligityblah]

Especially as a free willed female tourist...You'd be tied to one of the three pillars...


Good work.

The 'Mecca' for golf lovers.
