WHERE ARE THOSE CARSON BOYS NOW?



Two pictures but both taken in the same place. This may be harder than it looks. What country? (that's the easy part) What body of water are they near? What is the name of the old ruins? Is there anything interesting about the body of water itself?

FDR's first inaugural speech was designed to get the country up and moving again.
