Hey Barb. It's time for a clue!

This place is a "first."

That's the Motel Inn. It's on the El Camino Real (US 101) in San Luis Obispo.

 

[phinz]

It was the first motel in the world.

You got it Phinz. But according to the two articles I found its name is the Milestone.

OK... What chain is this building representative of? I don't need to know where the building is, but what the chain is.

 

[Anau]

Is it Whataburger?

 

[Katie H]

Looks like Whataburger to me, too.

wienerschnitzel?

 

[phinz]

Anau got it. I miss Whataburger. We don't have them in Tennessee.

 

[Anau]

Huh, you'd think if they're in Texas, they'd be in Tennessee too.

OK, where is this statue and who is it of?

 

[Buck]

I dunno who it is but I ain't gonna sass him!

 

[Anau]

Huh, tell that to Ferdinand Magellan

 

[Barbara L]

I was searching in the right ocean but wouldn't have gotten it without your clue! Chief Lapulapu, the man who chopped Magellan to bits, ending his quest to circumnavigate the world.

P.S. A few years ago when I taught my class about Magellan, when I told them that he died in 1521, one of my students actually asked if he is still dead. He was serious too!

 

[Anau]

Wow, as if Magellan came back alive?

Yes you're correct! It's of Chief Lapu lapu who is kind of a legendary hero in the Philippines. The statue is on Mactan Island.

Thanks! I will post a picture when I get home from work.

Sorry it took so long--I was having some picture issues. Okay, what and where is this?
