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 (#267) is Xi’an, China

Where in the World is Gary?   #268

Latitude — 36° 02′ North

Longitude — 107° 56′ West

The great houses and kivas here date from 900-1150 AD. Pueblo Bonito is a highlight; it once stood four-five stories high, with 650 rooms.
