Happy Sunday Funday guys!! Hope you guys all have a fantastic holiday weekend. Today we're talking surprise vacation AGAIN. We leave in less than a month. We got the final clue. And my dad's got a little message for ya'll!
He's clearly having a whole lotta fun with this 🙂 And here it is....
Final Clue
Previous Clues:
Along the eastern coast, ruins to behold
Some cities, some towns, so quaint and so old.
The rugged wildness of life
Such beauty, such magic, such strife.
Inside we go, away from the beach and away from the bold
To pass the time, for ages untold.
At 2:15 we lay down to sleep, at 2:17 she snores
How much can I take, I need my rest, with wonders still to explore.
From here I sit,
To leave on this wonderful trip,
We will be there soon,
Heading home in June.
Early to rise,
The sky so blue
I don some clothes
And observe the view.
Sites abound
Wonders all around
So warm on top,
So cold below,
Two different worlds
For us to go.
On the rocks,
My calves so cold
Or is it I, just getting old
Sites for sore eyes:
My wonderful Uncle Sal will visit us on monday, GREAT!
Boy, what an amber looking ale, it tastes so good on these hot summer days!
Mom's house, in the middle, of AA
I must find her room, "Aack this is hard",
But well worth the pain.
Or; can in the mirror, I only see
A name, or me?
Any ideas?!? I've also come to learn that we do NOT need any vaccinations or anything for where we are going. Maybe some pills to take while we are there - but my parents are staying tight lipped on if we will need to take anything while we're gone. Also - I'm fairly positive we are leaving the country. Alaska might be the only place in America that's an option... but I think we're going to need our passports.
If you've got an idea - or can decipher a clue - leave me some info in the comments!! We'd love to solve the puzzle before we go!
Sounds alot like Cancun..yes the Yucatan...there are a ton of ruins...and the 'two different worlds' could be diving or snorkeling (warm above, cold below). Don't know if you need a passport to go there these days...I haven't been for eons...
Hmmmmm.....not sure but i can't wait to see how this unfolds!!
I think Greece! Athens is on the eastern coast. Not sure about the hiking clues though...
You are coming to the lovely State of Maine - I picked up on the beer part...we have mountains for climbing and lakes for swimming and old forts and ruins along the coast....if you come let me know and we'll have a lobster together! Susan
The references to "going home" and "Uncle Sal" make me think maybe it has something to do with your heritage? My initial thought was actually Ireland or Scotland, though I don't know if I could pinpoint why.
That was my reply and it posted on comments?
I think you were in Charleston, South Carolina going to South America to the Mayan ruins, there are ruins in South Carolina also!!
I still think it is South America, a Mayan ruins. can;t wait to find out!!!
So much fun! I have no idea though. 🙂
This:
So warm on top,
So cold below,
Two different worlds
For us to go.
On the rocks,
...makes me think of caves?
Rock of Gibralter?
Love how creative your parents are! Not any help in the clue department - sorry!
I found this and it makes some sense: One of the 7 wonders of the world for 2010 Lake Coatepeque is a large crater lake in the east part of the Coatepeque Caldera. At 26 sq. km, it is one of the largest lakes in El Salvador, and has hot springs near its shores. In the lake is the island of Teopan, which was a Mayan site of some importance.
El Salvador?
And that would work for the "Uncle Sal" part!
Could it be Saudi Arabia?
I'm gonna guess the Yucatan.
what makes you think that?!
Machu Picchu/Peru!!!
why!???
But Macchu Picchu is along the western coast
Oh my goodness how fun!!!! I have no idea where you're going but I can't wait to find out!
