I got the purchase but only after googling the spelling. I tried Gadsen.. Gasden.. knew it was something like that.

According to wikipedia, Guadelejara is only the third largest city in Mexico now. Might wanna verify that.

Ecatepec is a suburb of Mexico City. OP might want to change the hint to 2nd largest metropolitan area.

Gros Morne? National park in Newfoundland, also happens to be a world heritage site. A much better choice than Glacier National Park.

Um, you do realize that Glacier National Park is also a Canadian National Park as well? One of two (along with Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park) shared national parks between Canada and the US, Glacier NP is, in addition to being very beautiful, a very bright example of cooperation and friendship among two nations.

UNESCO slaps "World Heritage Site" on anything that has been around for more than 30 years. That label is meaningless.

Is that why Glacier National Park is a World Heritage Site? Oh wait, it's not, even though its 105 years old.

Also happens to be one of the few (possibly only) place in the world where you can actually walk on the Earth's mantle. It's very important geologically, because of the exposed mantle as well as deep ocean crust.

I always thought "cowboy" was "vaquero"

"Vaquero" is the literal Spanish translation of "cowboy." I believe "Gaucho" is the Argentinian colloquialism. I don't know if "gaucho" is unique to Argentina, but the Argentinian cowboys are exclusively -- and somewhat famously -- called gauchos.

It mainly applies to the cowboys of the Patagonian grasslands (Argentina and Chile), but also is used in other areas of South America.

17/22 items on the Americas quiz have a direct or somewhat indirect link to one nation. It is not exactly an "Americas" quiz when the farthest south an item reaches is Guyana.

If you Americans want to avoid seeing such comments, then you need to be far less insular. EdPsycho is spot on with his comment.

Everytime I hear "gaucho" I think of a Mexican cowboy with a big bushy mustache named "Gaucho Marx." :P

I would like to point that Grenada was saved by the US from cuban backed forces, not invaded.

What? The US invaded because a moderate Prime Minister was overthrown (and subsequently executed) by hardline opponents. Also because Reagan reckoned the civilian runway under construction on Grenada was actually being built to accommodate heavy military aircraft. Cuba had nothing to do with it, other than Reagan also thought that the presence of Cuban construction workers was suspicious. Hardly good reasons to invade a country.

You are correct. Reagan invaded because its Premier, Maurice Bishop, (a socialist, not a communist) was overthrown, and murder-ed by his former compatriot, Bernard Coard. Bishop had initially approached the USA for assistance when he seized power from Eric Gairy, and was rebuffed so he turned to Castro for assistance. While there were Cubans working on lengthening (and lighting) the airport, no quid-pro-quo existed. Bishop was firmly socialist while Coard, who was in Bishop's Cabinet, leaned toward Communism. That was what created the chasm between the former "friends". Reagan was aware of this and invaded because he feared what would happen if Coard gained power. (He was also intent on protecting the students attending St. George's Medical School)
