Such beautiful names you have in America! I only got 5 out of 11, and one or two of those were guesses 🙂
Thank you for taking the quiz Norman. I figured not everyone would be able to know the states but thought it would be interesting to let them know about these lovely lakes
Such breath-taking places and a fun quiz!
Glad you you enjoyed the quiz, Ellie.
Got seven correct, great quiz!!
Very good try Carol and glad you enjoyed the quiz
got 11 – i’ve only been to 8 of the lakes but you added 3 destinations to future wanders!
Very good, Doc that is awesome that you’ve been to 8 of the lakes.
i traveled for many years. Every time I went to a place, I always tried to get to the top tourist spot!
These lakes are a complete stranger to me …. luckily I have 5 correct ones …. you have to know that I don’t know all the lakes in Europe yet
Well, I hope you had fun taking the quiz and learned about these lakes. I don’t know all about many places in the US but you did give me an idea of looking up some European lakes
Gave up half way sorry I wonder even those in the US will be able to answer these (lol)
Well, thank you for trying Grace and you are right there are so many states that it’s difficult to know about many places.
