Where in the World is Gumbo (#13)

 Every now and then we need a break from the bustle of urban life, and Gumbo is no exception. He’s gone off to the natural world…and your task, should you accept it, is to reveal to the world where Gumbo has gone. This tape will NOT…

Where in the World is Gumbo #12

 So many churches, so many differences…and so many similariies. This one is not like the two previous churches that featured in previous puzzles, but it is surely somewhat like many you have seen. Gumbo continues his hopping from place to…

 Where in the World is Gumbo now? The picture would seem to indicate Gumbo is in the past, and yet he was present. The scene is ancient, but it is still in regular use. As usual, you are invited to collaborate with others who can puzzle out…

Where in the World is Gumbo? #8.5

 Gumbo pauses occasionally to visit a church, and was charmed by this one, less grand than most of the most-visited. As usual, no prize but praise to the first to guess where this one is and name it. In addition to that honor, the winner and…

Where Gumbo Was, #8: Oslo, Norway

This jaunty houseboat, moored just off Aker Brygge, Oslo’s old port area, probably started life as a small fishing vessel. Even painted Pepto-Bismol pink, it’s just one of many unusual watercraft you’ll see on a short ferry ride across the harbor. On…
