Flag Day for the 155th!

I love Flag Day! So far, we know about San Salvador (a dream post for me! I've heard it's wonderful for families!) and Dhaka (don't know too much about this post so I'm looking forward to learning!). I'm happy that V is for Vonhinken  got what they were hoping for - a DC post (and as Con candidate, I'm hoping she'll share a little bit about her job, which sounds so interesting!). And The World That We Live In got a really cool and beautiful country as their first post.

Another- Riga, Latvia!  (shout out to two former RPCVs from Africa!). Also heard that Niamey, Niger, was assigned to someone.

If you know of others who don't blog, please share! I love living vicariously! Congrats, everyone!

Way to stay positive with your list of things to do. I'm sorry this round wasn't for you. The fall is such a wonderful time of year so maybe you can enjoy it a little bit more for me since I am desperate to have a US fall with pumpkins and Thanksgiving. Live it up for those of us who don't get to be home.

I've heard about Tokyo, Shenyang, and Kathmandu as well. What a fun list!
