Thank you, I was having a hard time finding ideas on So. Africa, this will be great
Is a Cape Buffalo the same as we call a water buffalo?
Yes, I guess so. I just wanted to differentiate between the american buffalo.

After living in the DC area for 35 yrs., the monuments always come to mind. Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson etc. Those are easy to find. Just came back from out West & saw Mt. Rushmore & Old Faithful which are also beautiful. I'll see if what I have in my files is marked as to where I got them!

More great suggestions
Only ones marked were from emb library. But as of today, they have some new USA files of different monuments in 1 color with a sale..may want to check out the site for others too.

Germany is more than beer and Bavaria Octoberfest but thats what comes to mind mostly - how about the Brothers Grimm and Fairytales or Father Rhine with Lorelei and Wilhelm Buschs Max and Moritz.
I like to travel around the world with Mark Twain and love his book about traveling in Europe.
