Week Eight
Phew! Breathless! La Paz was amazing but the altitude got to me.
The answers were: La Paz; The Witches Market; St. Francis of Assisi; The Clock of the South; (American) Kestrel / falco sparverius / Killi Killi; Wiphala. Sorry to those who thought the bird was a condor; a wonderful bird but sadly not what was being looked for.
We now have six teams who are on Maximum Points. They are: Indefinitely Grounded; Kenya Give Us a Clue; The Flying Breadboards; The Glens Folk; The Intrepid Aldronians; Wood Folk
Please don’t forget to submit your answers to me before the deadline! (Many more of you managed to do this this time around).
Thanks for putting up with us while Bread and Water sorted out their donations page issue: it was a lot more complicated than they at first thought but it’s now fixed.

Well done and thank you for your support.
Here is Week Eight …
I am by a park that is not really a park but a sporting venue, home to a famous team and a Green Monster. Am I wearing the right coloured socks? This is a city so steeped in history that the more I see the more impressed and bewildered I become. I wander towards the oldest public park in the country and come across a statue of a mother and her offspring. Delightful. So much here is hidden underground, such as the oldest subway and a series of massive tunnels (completed in 2007) that was given a rhyming nickname by the locals. Green spaces abound here and I can use a Greenway named after a presidential family’s matriarch to get to my next destination by a Bascule bridge. Just in time for a tea party. How very apt. I have already learned so much on my travels and as I sip my tea I realise that I am close to one of the largest concentrations of seats of learning in the world. The oldest (this city has more than its fair share of “oldests”) has but a single word as its motto. I could spend years here and never see it all, so I move on, back to the Bubblecraft, calmed by all the Peace and Light, as another seat of learning would have it.
Where am I?
What is the name of the sporting venue?
Which animals are the subject of the statue?
What was the nickname given to the tunnelling project?
To which family did the matriarch belong?
Which one Latin word is the oldest university’s motto?
