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.





here you can see the Eiffel Tower off in the distance:


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:

unc,
may I remind you that gd's tried to steer us wrong before...either on purpose or due to ungeographicitis. In any case, thanks for reminding me about Austria...my dear birthland. Remember when I was there earlier in this game? Carry on.

Alright you two. First of all, I dont believe Ive ever led you astray either on purpose or due to ungeographicitis, have I?. Secondly, Croatia is not landlocked. Third, I am in Croatia. Fourth, I am in Dubrovnik, or close enough in Plitvice.

Go babdboy!

sorry, gd. I was just joking, no personal jab intended. I'm sure most of us have forgotten a clue and guessed a place that was already excluded...I know I have but I'm not sure you did. I was just blabbing useless drivel to enhance the nonsensical nature of this thread.

I'm wondering if maybe I should concede to unc since he said "jugoslavia" to which I made the Dubrovnik comment...but does that count as a legit guess?
While unc weighs the scales of justice, here's a couple pics of Plitvice, including the Plitvice Lakes National Park.
