Update:
The winner is Katrina…it must be the good Karma from nominating 2 charities
Thanks again to Jasmine and her wonderful picture and awesome blog. This has been one of most commented contests yet! Here’s what she had to say “The answer is Leon, Nicaragua, home to the largest cathedral in Latin America, historical and art museums, Sandinista revolution stronghold, and a sweltering hot climate.” I do love a good revolutionary stonghold!
Katrina get a bit prize this week. Not only a link to her wonderful blog Tour Absurd, BUT also links to her more than worthy charities:
Children of Ethiopia Education Fund – http://coeef.org/
Amani Children’s Home – http://amanikids.org/
Welcome to Travel Photo Contest Friday. If you’re a new friend, each week I post a beautiful picture (at least I think so) from my travels (or now a featured guest…see below for details) and you guess where it is. This week’s photo comes from Jasmine and her fun travel blog Jasmine Wanders. No, I didn’t just pick Jasmine’s site because her Blog Name is similar to mine. Give me a little more credit. Check her out, it’s worth it!
The first person to guess where this picture was taken (Country and City…smiley faces for partial answers) will win a link back to their blog with the anchor text of their choice in this post (keep it clean and relevant).
Leave your guess and recent post in the comment section below.
I will also stumble and review the latest post of anyone who leaves a comment even if the winner has already been picked (up until next Thursday). Hopefully, we can convince Jasmine has agreed to join in on the stumble love as well. Yes, the prizes heavily favor the blogging and travel geeks amongst us. If you don’t have a website, then leave your favorite website or better yet a charity that deserves attention.
Good luck!
Guesses aside, all comments are welcome!

Thanks, Todd and Jasmine!

I don’t have any idea about the photo. I am a traveler but I am only limited to theme parks. You know, if you are a mother what is important is what the kids wants to see. Anyway, I like your guessing idea… as I can see from all the responses here it is very effective in organizing thoughts from different individuals.
Hellow!
I love your site, It is a pleasure to visit.
I have added your site to my site.
Please link my site to your site.
Thank you!

Finally! One I know! Leon, Nicaragua. Pity I’m a bit late.
Claire´s recent [type] ..Why can’t I volunteer abroad for free
Oh well, the answer has already been put forth (one commenter above), but I’ll put my first (wrong) guess anyways – Manila, Philippines.

I’m not confirming that anyway has gotten anything correct until Wed.
We need to keep hope alive! Cheers
Any idea what happened to Japansoc? Site seems to relink to its facebook fanpage
I just tried as well, but no luck. No idea what has happened. Maybe too many submissions for the October Matsuri
Hopefully they are back up soon.

Are there cathedrals like this in the Philippines? I had no idea…
Jasmine´s recent [type] ..Pueblo Getaway- Escape to Boyaca
the scary thing is that I am absolutely sure I know this church, because I took pictures there. There is a separate church on the left and one of the right that you can go into. It is in a pretty good sized town. I remember some other sights a bit that I saw in this town….. and I have no earthly recollection of where it is. LOL. Too much travel.

Oh man, I think I’m too late so I’m going with Nicaragua and a shout out to Bread Pig: breadpig.com, which I just learned about<<their mission of bringing less suck to the world is awesome and I love their offbeat attitudes
No one is ever late here and who knows who is correct yet
Keep the guesses coming and we can all use less suck in the world!
Wow, I am so loving Breadpig.org. Just one glance and my little geeky, philanthropic heart is going pitter-pat. Thanks for the link.

Hey Shannon and Katrina, I really like Breadpig as well and it is a great concept. Really makes me think that I should be doing something similar on my website considering I already work closely with many worthy NGOs and causes. I’m inspired to think of way…
San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico?

Revising my guess: Cusco, Peru?
Brian Co´s recent [type] ..brianco- Is it San Cristobal de Las Casas RT @jasminewanders- RT @toddwassel- Travel Photo Contest Friday! http-supr-8InbHm
That was my first guess, but the church in San Cristobal doesn’t have a clock.
Andrea´s recent [type] ..How to Have a Great Flight – Real Insider Tips from a Flight Attendant Part One
True. Changed my guess to Cusco, Peru.

Children of Ethiopia Education Fund – http://coeef.org/
Amani Children’s Home – http://amanikids.org/

Very South America. Hmm… how about I guess Managua, just to take part.
