This week was a little harder I think. There were 39 guesses. 22 of you guessed the first picture was USA and 17 guessed that the first picture was in Europe.
The 17 that guessed Europe were correct! Here is the info on the two pictures.

The first picture is in St. Remy de Provence in France. This is the courtyard of the Maison de sante Saint-Paul de Mausole Asylum. It was the place that Van Gogh came
to be "confined" by his wishes in 1889. He stayed here 10 months and painted 143 paintings and more than 100 drawings during that time. Some of the more famous are, Starry Night and The Irises.

The second picture is in Asheville, NC. Some of you were correct in guessing it is at the Biltmore Estates. Every September they design a beautiful flower "carpet" using more than 100,000 beautiful plants, creating the look of an oriental rug. (I think I am going to have to stop using the Biltmore Estates as a USA pictures - to many of my NC friends are recognizing it! - And one friend from Australia!!)
This is a lot of fun! Thank you all for playing along. Come back next weekend for another Weekend ~ Where Is It?
Welcome Home,
