Challenge #4.2 - Where in the World are Debbie, Pete, Julia, and Bill

Recently four members of the Gross family jetted off to the British Isles for two weeks of pubs, foggy shorelines, and sheep. Though no members of the Gross family actually appear in the picture below (typical of the four travelers), it does showcase one of their recent locations. The picture is the only clue, but try to be as specific as possible when pinpointing the location!


Also, I have to announce the winner of yesterday's photo hunt (even though there wasn't really going to be a winner). I was super impressed with the speed of Gena's entry, the sisterly intuition of Carissa's and Jenny's entries, and the accuracy of Damon's entry. I have to make Damon the winner because he found the actual location of the picture,  O'Rielly's Irish Pub, just a block down from our Frankfurt hotel. Congrats!!

    Gena beat me to it! Some more information: in the background, you can see Merchant Street, and behind that, Candlemaker Row. To the left would be Frankenstein Pub, and behind them is Augustine United Church. Not too far to the North of Mom is an establishment called "Sneaky Pete's", which can't be a good sign. Mom took this picture just off of "George IV Bridge" on Friday, according to the EXIF data.

    Damon, that's cheating. No one else is a super geo-cacher or a technology expert who could read that kind of data from the file (EXIF?) But I'll let it slide just because I love you!!

    Duh. The answer is simple. Mom and Dad are exactly across the street from where you say they are. They are taking the picture from there of course.
