I took this picture of the statue of George Washington in Union Square in New York City.
Imagine that the blonde you see at the bottom of the shot is a tourist who asked the statue for directions to a specific place. The statue is answering correctly. What was her question?
The first person to give the correct answer will receive an autographed copy of Invisible Country. You can enter by leaving a comment on this blog or on my Facebook Author page:

Or you can tweet your answer to me at @AnnamariaAlfier
For each day that there is no correct answer I will post a hint here in the comments, on Facebook, and tweet a hint to my followers on Twitter.
Good luck.
Where do you think the blonde wants to go?

Oh, great sir, father of my country, can you point me in the direction you want this country of ours to go??? Thelma
ReplyDeleteI believe the blonde is asking, "Where was the union of the two principal thoroughfares of the island?"

She's asking: 'Where can I buy some pot?'

Hint for today is also the response to Thelma's guess: George is pointing south. (Many politicians today seem to want to send the country south, but not the Father of our country.)
ReplyDeleteWhich way to Wall Street? I want to be a member of the 1%. Karen
ReplyDeleteHow do I get to the Battery?
ReplyDeleteI was going to make a joke about assault, but I'm not quite sharp enough this morning.
DeleteYesterday's hint today: (Sorry. I blame thrillerfestivities)
ReplyDeleteThe tourist asked George the question because she found him in Union Square, and she thought he and his horse rightfully belonged in that other place.
Penultimate hint: when the blonde arrives at her destination, she will wonder why there is a statue of Giuseppe Garibaldi there.
ReplyDeleteI got it! I got it! (But I had to google Giuseppe Garibaldi statue first. Does that count?)
ReplyDeleteYes, it counts. Declare your answer and be the winner!
ReplyDeleteWashington Square!!
ReplyDeleteAn the winner is KATE GALLISON!!!
ReplyDeleteThe tourist thought that George Washington must know where Washington Square is. And she was right. He is pointing right toward it! Kate email me your postal address and I will send you the book.
Divine! Thank you.
