Guess the Place
I do not have any cool prizes to offer, like books or ScubaHawk or even WW herself. But this might be fun anyhow.
If you know for sure, just say I know, been there done that. And lets see if anyone can guess who does not know.
The famous or infamous phone booth in my avatar picture. I know it is small and cropped, I could put the whole picture on the web and post a link.
So, where is this phone booth and why is it famous?

A better question is: "Why am I playing musical chairs?"

Hint: It is a weekly event at a dive resort. I know there are other SD'ers who have been there. And why, well for the big prize and cause they were there.

Gee Walter, I was able to guess the phone booth and there really weren't any distinquishing features. I know where it is because I've been there. Anyone who has stayed at the resort in question, will recognize the musical chairs on the sand with the buildings in the background.Jill, the photo shows no distinguishing features of the location.

Bimini is absolutely beautiful. In 25 feet of water you can read the date on a quarter sitting on the bottom!
This picture was taken on the balcony of the Bimini Sands condo that we've stayed in the last two years. I cannot wait to go back in July in 2005!
