I’d never previously heard of a geography bee; only the spelling, quilting and honey/bumble+ varieties.

TIL.

I miss the free version of Geuguessr. I fly a lot and enjoy taking random pictures out the window, then trying to ID the same spot on Google Earth later. Whenever herself is watching a murder show she will pause it and see how quickly I can ID the various landmarks.

My daughter won the national Geographic geography bee at the local level in middle school. Her winning question was “What is the body of water between Sweden and Finland”. The other kid said the Baltic Sea but she correctly guessed the Gulf of Bothnia, which by a sheer fluke we had been talking about that morning :slight_smile:
