Just for kicks and giggles...

Can anyone guess what country this is? There's a hint in it, but you have to look closely.

Well by the looks of the stop sign I'm gonna say the US. Is this a trick question? ; )

Oh yeah. Big trick question. You find those stop signs all over the world. I think they're out #1 export.

Australia? Or it could be South Africa.

I'm assuming that it's a country where they drive on the left. I'll leave it at that. :)

Oh, good catch! There's actually 2 hints in post.

Close. Check out what I'm listening to for one of the hints.

Heh. I don't read the books so I didn't catch on to that. I was going to list all of the smaller southern African nations but that seemed like overkill. :D

LOL! I've learned a lot about Botswana from those books. Lovely stories.

If I'd been able to see the round building properly I might have guessed sooner. What's the exact location?

Never mind - I see you've given the location.

Palapye. 3rd RR crossing from the left of town. Yes, I was in a dilemma about posting a closeup of that house.

USA? Due to the STOP sign?

Nope, nope. Not in our continent. Look closer and guess again.

Is it Mali?

The pic wont blow up for me to see the details and all I could make out that was ''diffrent'', was the stripes on the stiop sign pole, and Mali's flag is yellow and green so....

The hint in the picture is a house. there's another hint which might have to do with what I'm listening to....

You got it! The round house with the thatched roof is a traditional Botswana house.

Excellent - thank you. Saved a few of those. I really love the books - they have them on audibles and I've been treating myself. I'm on #5 and glad there are so many to go. I love Grace. Did you know her shoes talk to her? Lol. She's like a kid at Christmas.

Graaaace! She grew up in my hometown, you know! (The actress, obviously, not Grace. hee.) I've only read through the end of book three. *sadface* I need to get back in there! ;)

Oh yes, you must. Grace starts her own business (a men's typing school) and was able to move to a better place and send more money to her family. She was in one room before that and had to share an outside water spout with 3 other families. What hometown is that?

Hartford, Connecticut!
Aww, Grace. Yay! :)

And by book 11 she has a fiance!!! Go, Grace! I never pictured her as a New Englander!

It looks like somewhere here, but that would be too easy. The crossing sign is in English though, so -- Kenya? Namibia?

Very close - next county north. Botswana.

A country in Africa? I'd say South Africa, but that would be too easy, no?

One country north of S.A.
