People from Princeton can't find Ghana.
I would feel smugger if I thought I could myself.

I can, but only because I'm responsible for our Francophone maps and it's a white space that stands out.
And Tony Bourdain went there for No Reservations.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm pretty sure I would have found it on a map on the plane there...
I feel so bad for that dad! But am not sure why finding the parts of the word-search puzzle was so hard for so many teams!

I know - it didn't seem like it would be that difficult. Of course, it might be considered as a variation on a needle in a haystack task.

It was hard because they couldn't find the key code that was written ON THE END OF THE BUILDING!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

This! I doubt I could fill in a blank map of Africa (or Eastern Europe, for that matter) either, but it's embarrassing that so many of them couldn't point to Ghana two days after having flown into it. Isn't that what the airplane map channel is for?

Hell, flying within the US, I find my route on the map in the magazine! I don't know why.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, me too! Where's that geographic map quiz we all used to do? Guess I need to brush up.
I felt sad for the dad. I think I have too much projection issue stuff going on with that team. It's hard to watch them.
I was unhappy with Nick's behavior, but I'm glad at least he recognized it and stopped. From her reaction, though, I would expect we're in for more later.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
At least the Capellas had the grace to be embarrassed by their mistake.
Enough African countries have changed names that I might have a little trouble, and Ghana is right in a band of little rectangular countries on that coast, but I'd have gotten it in a try or two, through process of elimination. Even fewer if I'd looked on the airplane map, because you know I'd have been looking out the plane window to see Morocco et alia passing by below and checking our progress on the map.
Son and Dad team are winners even if they don't get beyond the next leg -- they were admirably supportive and loving.
Were the Capellas the only team that solved the "crossword" challenge?
