This is the city of Guanajuato. Founded in 1554, it is located in one of the richest silver mining areas of Mexico, and is well known for its wealth of fine colonial era Spanish architecture. This historic town, adjacent mines and complex network of underground roads are considered a World Heritage Site.And watching over Guanajuato from above, is the Alhóndiga de Granaditas. This old grain storage was a key target for the insurgents during the Mexican war for Independence.

Blake: *as sweat trickles down his chest^ Man, there's some hot weather today.
Derek: *grins* You know what? You're pretty hot yourself.
Blake: Thanks, but no thanks for the lame joke. *laughs and leans into Derek*
Derek: Anytime, babe. *holds Blake and ruffles his hair* Excited?
Blake: Of course! I've always wanted to go outta the USA, and you know, I think Latin America's gonna be great.
Derek: Mmm, yeah. It sure is great - I'm telling ya, I'm having a hard time controlling myself with all those sexy Mexican men,
Blake: *glares at Derek* Eyes only on me, Derek.
Derek: Whoa, chill Blakey! *sighs* I'm not gonna stray,
Blake: *seriously* Promise?
Derek: *murmurs* Yeah I will.
Blake: I'm sorry... I'm... too Asian I guess. I feel like I'm too anally retentive.
Derek: Nice choice of words. *slaps Blake's butt*
Blake: Hehehe, that feels good.
Derek: You know it man. I hope you're ready to own this race with me!
Blake: Really? It's pretty difficult to leave the confines of your arms, Derek. *strokes Derek's body as he sinks himself in further*
Derek: It can stay this way until the start, dude.
Blake: Mmm, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Date: October 30, 2009 Time: 9:00 a.m. Welcome. In just a few minutes you'll start a challenging journey throughout the continent of Latin America. In my hands, I have your first clue. However, before you open your first envelope, your first task is waiting for you: right here, right now.
Hidden withing this building, the Alhóndiga de Granaditas, lie several license plates. Once I give the word, you will search the grounds until you find one plate from the State we're currently in. After you find it, you must bring it back to me. Once you bring me a correct license plate, I will hand you your first clue.
However...there are only ELEVEN correct plates hidden within the building, that means, three teams will be eliminated at the starting line, so you have to begin this race doing your best.
Is everybody ready?

GO!
TASK: Using the following license plates as a guide, fill up the enclosed map and PM me your solved map.
Task time: (20 + Rank) minutes
Task type: none
Note: How you do this task is completely up to you. I will not answer any questions regarding this task. The 11 teams with the highest number of correct answers will be able to continue. Ties will be broken by submission time. |
