Nice one @capriccio, don't get many American river shots here. There have been a few Oregon photos. They are recognized right away.

It must be an iconic street which is often published in photographs. notamermaid Have you been to the US? I know Steamboats has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took a Mississippi River Cruise from New Orleans to Memphis and than spent 2 more days in Memphis. It was the first time we had ever been there. What an interesting city with great music. Your turn Ritabob! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They cruised from the US to Europe, took a river cruise and did some independent traveling, and then took another cruise back to the US. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found the hotel but have never noticed the huge quote when in the city (I suspect that I didn't actually walk down the street on which it is located even though it is close to the museums and a very interesting market).

Rare notamermaid Posted May 16, 2021 Author #4210 Share Posted May 16, 2021 The wires suggest that there is a tram line. The building in the background and the blue street sign on the building I find a bit confusing. A major city, no doubt. But where? Not Germany I would say. notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ritabob Posted May 16, 2021 #4211 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Correct, not Germany. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogs4fun Posted May 16, 2021 #4212 Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) FWIW - the Disraeli quote no longer exists on this building - the mural was redone in 2018 and now sports a heron. The new mural is quite stunning - will make a point to view it when I next visit this city. 🙂 Edited May 16, 2021 by dogs4fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husband and I drove home later that week - the 12 hour drive killed us. There was so much road works that it added an extra hour to the journey. We are flying back next weekend for his sisters 2nd birthday. Thank goodness for Messenger/facetime/skype video chatting. Glad we are able to travel easily in our state, (and interstate maybe.) Who knows when we will be able to jump on a plane or boat to leave our country. But, we are booked for our first jab this afternoon -woo hoo. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare notamermaid Posted May 17, 2021 Author #4221 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Have I? Oops, I have still no idea. Cannot even say a river. From the look of the Madonna and child statue, I would put this in a more South Eastern area of Germany and beyond. In the grand river tour this would be upstream on the Main past Aschaffenburg and anywhere downstream on Canal or Danube. notamermaid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
