I have to confess here that my physical flag collection only has one of these four flags: South Africa. I got to meet a wonderful South African couple when we were having our trees trimmed (when I lived in the East Bay hills in California). I chatted with them just after South Africa had its first elections with black citizens fully enfranchised. The whole idea of a new South Africa emerging was so exciting I could hardly wait to get their new flag. The other two African flags I have are Kenya and Zimbabwe. I wonder if we will see visitors from there.Hello to Singapore! You know I keep looking for any ties to different countries, no matter how tenuous. This blog does tout me as a world citizen, after all. One of the great people I got to meet while a pastor in Oakland was a woman born in Singapore who later lived many years in Canada, then the Boston area, before coming to Oakland. She gave me a great perspective of a lifelong Anglican who had lived in three countries and was a delightful musician. Here's to you, Evelyn.
My ex has been to Budapest for a business trip but I, alas, have not. I would dearly love to visit Eastern Europe and see Hungary and Bulgaria.
It's a joy to have visitors from around the world. Welcome to you all!
Any guesses who might be next?
