The Geography Game

[Herbwoman39]

Since the Word Game slowly died out, I thought I'd start something new. This is a game we used to play in the car when I was just a wee one.

Some of you may already know how to play, but for those who don't I'll go over the rules. First, someone names a city, state, country, province or continent and then the next person names another of the above that starts with the last letter of the place that the previous person named.

For instance, if someone were to say Denver, I would reply Rockford as Denver ends with an "r" and Rockford begins with and "r".

You are eliminated for this round if you 1) repeat a place that has already been named (the above examples do not count) 2) name a body of water or geographical formation such as the Sahara desert. 3) Name a place that cannot be verified with a Google search.

Make this fun and challenging for the next person!

With that thought in mind, I'll start with the town in Wyoming that I used to live in:

and Arana, in response to your question: if they're right on the equator, chances are it's summer pretty much year 'round. At most, summer alternates with monsoon season... and then both sides of the equator are getting hit anyway.
