Hmm, a small town, Civil War era, with a lighthouse at the end of the main drag.
Any guesses?
(No fair going over to MrsDoF’s blog and looking)
Update: 05 November 9:15am… here’s another hint. Paul’s observation about tree foliage should give you some idea of the latitude.
How would you like to try navigating that river on a little raft?
Near as I can come—it’s somewhere on the Great Lakes.
No. I take that back—If it were on the Great Lakes, the trees would have turned colors by now, wouldn’t they?
Correct: we are not on the Great Lakes
I won’t ruin it for everyone. But have fun and enjoy the time off!
Without looking, Hannibal?
OK. I believe it’s somewhere on the Mississippi River. But Hannibal is too far North, isn’t it? How about Vicksburg?
From a cultural perspective, how different is it to go on vacation somewhere that’s not too different from home? I see English signage and American style cars and architecture.
I don’t mean that in a critical sense, but just curiosity.
Yep! You nailed it. Since it’s been a very warm fall, the leaves are just starting to turn now.
It’s more of a trip through time than across cultures. Hannibal is the boyhood home of Samuel Clemens, so there’s plenty for a couple history nerds to enjoy. We’ve been having a wonderful time, and this trip will probably spawn a number of sentimental posts of embellished factuality.
the “raft” was the clue
Great pictures and I couldn’t guess ‘cause Ihad already Read Diane’s post!
Does Hannibal still have those wacky public signs that make no grammatic sense?
