My guess is that you are in Mexico.

Mr. Irimina said...

I have to admit that your clues are very good.
As far as I know, the tortilla and tequila belong to Mexican tradition.

Also, another indicator for me was your clue with regard to the capital of the country; Ciudad de Mexico is one of the most populous cities in the area. Excellent job!

Ms. Dagro said...

I stated before that my guess was Mexico, but I would like to elaborate as to why I think this. Your pictures were great clues which helped me a lot. Also, being a social studies teacher, I was aware that Mexico was once a Spanish colony. I like your clue about the mariachi band. It made me smile thinking of one playing.

You guys did a wonderful job.

I agree with my classmates. I believe that Carlos' two classes are from Mexico. Since clue number 5 hasn't been discussed yet, I will explain what that clue has to do with Mexico.

There are two animals (the eagle and the snake) on the Mexican flag. I believe this coat of arms is used to bring attention to an ancient Aztec legend.

Wow!! You left interesting clues!
At first I thought you might be in Brazil because of your clues on population and having one of the seven wonders of the world. But then I considered your flag, your delicious tortillas, and the lake in the middle of your capital and am guessing that you are in Mexico.

I agree with the others. I just did a internet project with one of my classes on the Day of the dead. My students in my school are from Mexico. We are always sharing in the many things that Mexico has contributed to the world.

You are in Mexico
I guessed based on dia De La Muerte... I once saw a movie where the woman walked around selling "Flores, para los muertos..." Excuse my Spanish.
I remembered it was arter Halloween.

Hello guys,
It would have been great if you had posted a couple of clues about my favorite Mexican woman/artist: Frida Kahlo.
Miguel Aceves Mejia fue el ranchero favorito de mi padre.Me recuerda su voce in mi casa cada domingo.
It is a pleasure to hear from you, dear friend, Carlo.
Take care.

Tequila!!!! Excellent clues, this beverage tells me Mexico. Other good hints were about your flag and food. I will have to agree with my classmates on this.

I agree. Mexico it is! You gave a number of excellent clues:

- The Olympics were there in 1968.
- The "tortilla" is a traditional food in this country.
- We used to be a Spanish colony before 1810.

You certainly know your country's history! Very well done!!

This is Mexico. I could tell from the Tequila and the Olympics in 1968.

Unknown said...

I'm going to have to say, Mexico

Unknown said...

Adding to my previous comment i guessed that this was mexico because of the tequilla clue and the tortilla clue.

Anonymous said...

I guessed Mexico based on the "tortilla" and "tequila" hints. I then looked up the rest of the clues to see if it really was Mexico, and all clues matched.

Allymac said...

Like my class mates said Mexico

Unknown said...

mexico...the tequila gave it away

Unknown said...

I guess Mexico because of the great pictures and the hint about the tortilla.

Unknown said...

Alicia Simon said...

Unknown said...

MY guess is you are in Mexico because I love eating tortillas and I know they are from Mexico.Also your clue on the mariachi band definetly made me guess you were in Mexico.
