Travel trivia: Giant heads!

Posted on January 19th, 2011 by Laura Byrne Paquet in Travel Trivia

Where would you find about 600 giant heads called moai?

  • Easter Island
  • Hawaii
  • Ireland
  • Malta

Think you know the answer? Send it to me as a comment at the bottom of this post (one answer per contestant, please!). At the end of the week, I’ll draw one name from among all the people who answered correctly, and that person will receive this week’s prize: a $20 gift certificate fromĀ BnBFinder.com.

Come back to Facing the Street tomorrow for another travel trivia question and another chance to win the $20 gift certificate! And if you can’t wait until then for your trivia fix, check out my husband Paul’s trivia site, TriviaHallOfFame.com. (He provided this question, BTW.)

This contest closes at 5:00pm EST on Friday, January 21, 2011.
