Where are Danny and Ryan (Part 2)
Hopefully this one is a bit harder, so it isn't gotten on the first try :)
What I'm looking for here is the name of the town.
Time: Not recent (more than a week ago)

Europe
No, wrong continent.
Here's a clue: Look at the flags in the picture.
El Calafate, Santa Cruz Province, Argentina
Close, that is the correct province, but not the correct town. Here's another hint: It's not a place we stayed, we only passed through. Also, one of the images on the clock tower gives a hint as to one of the main industries of the town.
Rio Gallegos - sheep industry. Is that a sheep herding dog?
Hmmm...on second thought...that looks a lot like a railroad track leading into a mine, and a guy drilling into a wall. So...how about Puerto San Julian with their mining history?
Getting warmer. We went through here immediately after Rio Gallegos, and your second thought of mining is what I was referring to - specifically coal mining. We saw mines from the bus as we came into town.
Rio Turbio - final answer. I'm quite certain I even found the plaza on Google Maps. :) I see the church and the yellow roof-ed building. It's smack in the middle of town. :)
Correct!
