Where in the World #20

Thanks for bearing with us during our hiatus.  I don’t think we fully thought through what this game would entail!

#20

This country is one of the most Protestant in Latin America, with about 40% claiming to be Protestants.  Miguel Angel Asturias won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1967.  One of the capitals of Spanish colonial America was moved here in 1629 after a “water volcano” (I have no idea what that is!) destroyed the previous capital.  This is one of the very few countries Kristen and I have both been to.

Hiatus

#19 was Recife. It is not high on our list but on the list nonetheless!

Today we are taking a hiatus from blogging “Where in the world” to give all of our friends a chance to blog and to give us time to read their blogs! That isn’t really the reason. We are just tired of trying to be creative! But we do love to read our friends blogs and have missed the updates!

Hope everyone is having a good day!

#18

The country includes two large islands as well as having two independent states within the country’s borders.  It is the birthplace of the Renaissance.  The city is one of the fashion capitals of the world. There would be no shortage of good wine or raviolis.
