Round #86 won by Portolan
Submitted by AlanS. Peruvian Paso horses during a performance at Hacienda Mamacona in Lurin, Peru. Known for their extremely smooth ride which is a result of a unique four step gait. They inherited this gait from European predecessors, strict breeding and training, though some claim it resulted from walking on the hot sands of coastal Peru. During the performance the horses wore ribbons to signify their prior show successes.
Round #87 won by BobHamburger with assist from TravelGuy.
Submitted by Sandman. A ski jumper airborne over the Bergisel with the town of Innsbruck, Austria, site of the ’64 and ’76 Olympics, in the background. Photo taken on Alpine Adventure, a Tauck Bridges Tour.

What city am I in?
Sealord, you can’t enter this one!
Ooooh! I know but ain't sayin'. Sealord, you be quiet too!!!
In addition to knowing the place, it helps if you know where people have traveled!
This was the photo I was trying to find. Thought you would recognize this too Alan!
British, was that a panorama or fish-eye lens shot? I take my hat off to you.
It was a cell phone Pamorama
I had less traffic ... but it may have been the same room. Actually, it looks like we might have been on a higher floor ... we actually always request ‘low’ floors.
Singapore?
nope
No. Any other offers, I’m going to bed now!
I'll try one more - Panama City?
Bingo!
A view of the Panama City, Panama, waterfront, taken looking south, from the Hilton Panama(?) during The Panama Canal & Costa Rica small ship cruise. The Interamerican (Panamerican) Highway (Rte 1) the road just below, follows the coastline here. Panama Bay, the approach to the canal and Bridge of Americas are (not visible) off in the distance in the center of the second photo near the distant islands. Google Maps, satellite view has been updated to show the new Cocoli locks. Check it out.
Panama City, perhaps taken from Panama Hilton.
Finally got the clue about the hat!
I was wondering if anyone would catch that.
Factoid: 'Panama' hats is a misnomer, they actually come from Ecuador!
They might not make them, but they sure do sell them and others.
In January, I was in Panama and did a partial transit of the canal from the Pacific to the lake in the middle of the canal. It turns out our excursion boat made the transit (shared the locks) with the Tauck ship. During this trip we also came across the Tauck buses at the Gamboa Rainforest.
I was in that little pool almost every day. I’m even featured in the Tauck video for the tour swimming in it!
Putting “Hot Babes” in the marketing is a good move on their part.
😂😂😂😂😂
Bet you were the kid who brought the teacher an apple every day
