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 (#140) is Charlottesville, Virginia, USA

Where in the World is Gary?  #141

Latitude — 47° 34′ North

Longitude — 10° 57′ East

This place features a small but exquisite palace built by a king.

It contains a Moorish pavilion on the grounds.

Inside is a grotto which is reminiscent of Wagner’s Tannhauser.
