I too got 15 of the 16. Missed the beachin Rio - I "guessed" that it was California...

I must admit though, I probably would have done worse had I not read Alan's comment about the "Alamo" before taking the survey! Thanks Alan!!!

14 for 16, but I used some of the info here to get more than a few right.

The keys to the beach pic:
  • Lush green hills/mountains on each end.
  • Too many houses- definitely not Maui.
  • Mountains, no tall hotels, no canals- definitely not Miami.
  • No famous pier- not Santa Monica.
