Not to bitch about the paintings. (there's been nuff of that) but....
Isn't Alicante in Spain??
What does a Jap plane doing in the skies above Spain?
(maybe I don't know my history well enough, though)



Alicante is also a town on Negros, in the Phillipines.

Right!

I stand corrected.
Never too late to learn a thing or two.



In Texas alone we have a Paris, an Athens, a Rome,
an Edinburgh, an Italy, a London, a Liverpool, a Moscow,
a Naples, a China, a Dublin, an Egypt, a Troy, a Turkey,
and an Odessa.

Old World names are all over the New World.


PS: For what it is worth we also have towns with
names like Dell Computer, Gun Barrel City, Neiman Marcus,
Boy's Ranch, No Trees, Cut And Shoot, Recycle, Escapees
RV Club, Telephone, Telegraph, White Settlement, and
my favorite - Climax.
