South America must be a fascinating Country, have read a lot about it, unfortunately it is so far away from here!
Have added a picture of Mt. Egmont to my previous post.
South America is fascinating, because they are so varied in culture and language. Although most South American countries speaks Spanish, Brasil speaks Portuguese. There are over 500,000 Japanese in Brasil (the most out of Japan), and the majority live in Sao Paulo. The history of Brasil is a mixture of Portuguese and French. Buenos Aires is predominantly Italian, but there are places down in southern Argentina settled by the Welsh. Many communities in Chile were settled by the Germans. Fascinating, yes!
Thank you for that information CI. Wish you pleasant journeying.
That is what I miss about not being able to travel, C.I. and Dutchy.
Apple blossoms are so lovely in May in Winchester, Va.
Sorry that I couldn't find a bigger picture.
Well, I think the forum is beginning to get back to normal, but there are still no updates.
Especially for you dear Letty :wink:
Ah, Dutchy. The last time I received such flowers was on a day in May. Thank you, Auzzie. <big>
Well, shall we get back to the game? I'll take a turn:
Where?
USA, a school, college, university?
Yes, Walter, USA. but no school nor educational facility.
Walter, this place has been a lot of things, but I am only interested in the name and the place, honey.
(aside; I don't think the edit feature is working)

Well, such infos would make the search easier
You're right, Walter. It has been a landmark theater.
I've momentarily no time to post a new pic ...
Info on the Mosque in Richmond, Va.
Ornate architecture provides the perfect setting for concerts, theater productions and more.
Richmonders still call it the Mosque, but when this theater, built in 1928 for the Shriners Acca Temple, was renovated in 1995, it was officially renamed the Richmond Landmark Theater. The ornate architecture, inspired by Moslem temples, gets its vaguely Eastern flavor from the two tall spirals (helpful if you find yourself lost in the busy surrounding Fan District neighborhood) and the colorful murals and tiles from Spain, Italy and Tunisia. The theater itself seats over 3,500, congenially combining size and acoustics.
C.I. I am not certain what you mean by "train station". Was that a guess?
Letty, My post came a little late - as my coach was late as usual. LOL
C.I. are you at liberty to post a place? I hope so.
