Here is something interesting.

Also which ship is it. I spent about 20 minutes on her near Key West in the early 80's.

USS Nimitz

Well, it is NOT:

Cambridge, Oxford, Newcastle, Leeds, Yale, Harvard, Princeton, McGill, Toronto, British Columbia, Berlin, Munich or Frankfurt Universities - which are the famous West Hemisphere universities in Wikipedia (which this looks like).

Is it a House of Parliament?

It might be religious - looks like a chapel perhaps jutting into the central quadrangle.

Museum? Library? Someone's cozy little summer cottage?

Not warm yet.George Bush despises this place.Someday I wish he would go there.

 

The architecture looks French. Is this any warmer?

Not quite but a little warmer although it was a French architect.Its not really gothic either .Its around a hundred years old .It was built with money from railroads ,oil,and steel.

Sounds like something Andrew Carnegie might have built.

 

This should solve it.[attachmentid=11436]

 

Carnegie Peace Palace, the Hague.

I think I have one more tiny obscurity saved up.

 

This looks like it should be called Picasso Keys. Not you or me, but close. (edit: That's a clue, not a comment on your hair this morning. )

That's odd... it doesn't look like Hell...

 

Hey, where'd everybody go?

We're running your clue through the translation thread next door. "Ich bein potato glen" is one result. "Thou art no eyelet, aglet." It's no use. Those little atolls are more secret than the color of Dick Cheney's boxers.

No visible eyelet at all? Not bikini atoll, definitely.

Let me translate: "Not me or you, but close" means it's close to a place that sounds sorta like 'not you or me'.

It's close to Nairobe?

(need really good hints cos there's one in the wings I'm pining to post)

 

No, not near Nairobi. But it starts with an 'N'.
