This new series is a throwback to the game, “Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?” I will give a brief description of a place, including its latitude and longitude and several “interesting” facts about the location. I will also try to include a picture or two from my visit to the place. You, the reader, can then hazard a guess to answer the question posed in the game.

I will reveal the correct location on the following day. Hopefully, this type of post will encourage interaction and perhaps stimulate comments. Good Luck!

The answer to yesterday’s place (#119) is Patmos, Greece

Where in the World is Gary?  #120

Latitude — 59° 44′ North

Longitude — 30° 23′ East

This town is named for a beloved poet. A statue of the poet adorns the grounds of a famous palace here.

Statue of Poet

A “great” person lived here in the 18th Century. This place contains an incredible palace which features a room whose walls are made of amber.

Amber Room

The palace itself is one of the most glorious in the world.
