RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - RJNorton - 12-17-2016 05:54 PM Lisbon, Portugal? RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-17-2016 06:24 PM Kudos, Roger - you are extending the lead! The statue is indeed near Lisbon: http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WMJ4NJ_Esttua_de_A_Lincoln_Azeito_Portugal Roger 8 Thomas 6 Laurie 3 Dave 4 Joe 2 Laurie's guess reminded me of habanera (Cuban dance) and habanera of the following y'all win additionally: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OYfMRZTDLZQ RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - RJNorton - 12-17-2016 06:59 PM Thanks, Eva. The key was here. I googled the weather for a bunch of European cities, and the closest to what you posted was Lisbon. RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-17-2016 08:03 PM V-e-r-y good job - I think everyone will agree such efforts deserve a bonus point! Roger 9 Thomas 6 Laurie 3 Dave 4 Joe 2 RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - J. Beckert - 12-17-2016 08:23 PM Roger's nailing this one. RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-18-2016 06:42 AM Happy 4th Advent - here's your today's Advent Trivia task. What is depicted in #18, and where is it? [attachment=2496] RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - RJNorton - 12-18-2016 06:51 AM Major's Hall in Bloomington, Illinois, where Abraham Lincoln gave his Lost Speech in 1856. RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-18-2016 06:58 AM Excellent guess, Roger, but, sorry, not correct. RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - RJNorton - 12-18-2016 07:26 AM St. Lawrence Hall in Montreal where John W. Booth stayed.

Booth stayed.Another outstanding idea, Roger, but not correct either. Hint#1: You are right as for the kind of facility. RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - RJNorton - 12-18-2016 09:56 AM I am clueless - the National Hotel in Washington? RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-18-2016 10:11 AM Another excellent guess, Roger, but, sorry, not in Washington. Hint #2: It's in one of Lincoln's "homestates". (It was - since turned down in 2005.) RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Gene C - 12-18-2016 10:18 AM Is this the place (after some extensive renovations) located in Franklin, Nebraska https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/00/Lincoln_Hotel_(Franklin,_Nebraska)_from_E.JPG RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - Eva Elisabeth - 12-18-2016 11:32 AM Another outstanding research, Gene, but not the place either. To clarify - "homestate" was supposed to mean that Abraham Lincoln had lived (not just boarded) in the respective state. Hint #3: Members who especially lately followed the forum attentively and thoroughly are much in advantage. Hint #4: Abraham Lincoln and another protagonist were said having stayed there at least once. RE: Trivia Advent Calendar - J. Beckert - 12-18-2016 11:56 AM Terre Haute House In Terre Haute, Indiana? |
