{188 Countries visited and I forgot my 3rd Blog birthday...}

On November 23, was actually my 3rd Blog Anniversary and I forgot... Well, I was having severe back pain and was away from my PC so it passed by. That would have been my 761st post, up from the 484th the previous year. And 148th for the very 1st year. Quite some writing and sharing with lots of loyal readers. A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL! Also a BIG WELCOME to my 2 newest countries since November 9. 
December 4, the Republic of the Congo was my 187th Country visited. WELCOME!
December 5, the Newest Country visited was Curaçao, making the total 188. WELCOME!
Wishing you a happy December week.
