Geographica: North America

     If you saw the title and thought these questions would all be about the United States, because what other country is in North America?  You may be a bit surprised.  Oh, yes, well, Canada too.  True, but there are other countries as well.  Stretch the brain and enjoy the quiz.

1.  El Salvador
2.  Honduras
3.  Haiti
4.  Northwest Territories

Bria's note:  I am often unfamiliar with places on Ally's geography quizzes and love to look them up, especially in photos.  It's one thing to read about the Beaufort Sea and quite another to see it, blue and filled with ice.  Beautiful.  Today I looked up La Citadelle Laferriere and was amazed.  Here is a link from Travel Adventures, scroll down and see photos of the cannon and the roof structure.  Or, for a short history lesson, read the description on the Unesco site.
