war Posted April 21, 2016 Share #16024 Posted April 21, 2016 Perhaps some hints will help. This country is located on the Central American isthmus. It has the Caribbean Sea to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. This photo is of it's Pacific coast. And.....for those following "The World From Above" game thread, that country borders this one! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelwj Posted April 27, 2016 Share #16033 Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) Otto, It looks to be associated with the poet Guillaume Apollinaire, who died in Paris, but lived in Rome before that. I've no idea where he lived in 1899, but my best guess would be Paris. Michael Edited April 27, 2016 by michaelwj Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto.f Posted April 28, 2016 Share #16034 Posted April 28, 2016 You are on the right track but he was also somewhere else than Paris or Rome Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelwj Posted May 3, 2016 Share #16035 Posted May 3, 2016 You are on the right track but he was also somewhere else than Paris or Rome I'll admit with the help of Dr Google, it seems he lived for a short while in Belgium in his youth, which fits with the 1899 date. The writing appears to be French (which I don't speak since studying at high school), so I will have to say Wallonia someplace. I see there is a museum to him in Stavelot, so that is my guess. But I'm afraid to say that I've never been there and have definitely not walked down that street! Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto.f Posted May 4, 2016 Share #16036 Posted May 4, 2016 Your guess is right, it is Stavelot and this is the entrance of the Hotel OMalAime, which owes its name to the fact that Apollinaire stayed there a few weeks/months and wrote this poem/song there?, there was something with the bill also, don't know the exact anecdote, but I can certainly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to hear the whole true story about it. I'm used to stay in this hotel when I go cycling in the Ardennes. Well done Michael, your turn! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
