No, you went east. Go back to Babylon and head a little southwest.

Hint:

When I looked to see if this was a ever a city several sources, including a couple universities, specifically referred to it as a "fortress" but people most certainly lived here.

uncle phil 09-02-2008 04:07 PM

masada?

Tully Mars 09-02-2008 04:17 PM

Bingo.

I've never been there. Was just watching a show on Discovery when I found where you were in NYC.

Masada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sounded interesting.

You're up, King O'Duff

(J/K I'm sure you play golf just fine)

uncle phil 09-02-2008 04:23 PM

Tully Mars 09-02-2008 04:29 PM

Can't get enough of that wonderful Duff!

I'm on a lot of lists, you'll probably need to take a number.

uncle phil 09-05-2008 09:55 AM

land-locked country?

BadNick 09-05-2008 10:17 AM

Sometimes the folks here act like they have a lock on all the land, but this country is not landlocked.

By the way, I'm hoping you can guess the famous building I'm in, not just the city.

uncle phil 09-05-2008 10:19 AM

the reichstag?

BadNick 09-05-2008 10:49 AM

girldetective 09-05-2008 12:07 PM

sacre coeur?

BadNick 09-05-2008 12:44 PM

oh, gd, you must be a holy girldetective...that's exactly where I am. Your turn again.


These are pics I took myself from my unauthorized prowling around inside Sacre Coeur Cathedral. I was following along behind a guided tour when I noticed what looked like a stone wall with a boarded up doorway to what appeared to be a circular stairway leading upward from the upper elevation floor I was already on. So as the tour moved along, I noticed that a couple of the boards were loose, so I quickly pulled them open just enough to quickly sneak in...it was pitch black dark but I started to slowly feel my way upward on the stairs....crunch crunch crunch under my feet, I wasn't sure what that was and couldn't see...but as I went around a few times on my way up the stairs, more light was starting coming in and I could finally see that I was stepping on ages of piled up bird poop along with dead bird carcasses crunching under my feet...yummy. Finally I found myself looking out of one of the high minerettes overlooking the cathedral and Paris...pretty cool sight. I was then tempted to climb out on the roof to get even a better look...but I chickened out and that will have to be next time.

And here's a gratuitous pic of the ugly american BadNick that I found in this batch of photos...quite a few years ago I might add.

And a couple more nice pics of Sacre Coeur that I found on the 'net:
