Dear Libyan Arab Jamahiriya,

You are the 92nd country to visit our humble blog. Congratulations.

As a reward for being lucky 92, instead of scolding you for having a "Y" where you should have an "I", I am dedicating this post to your wonderful country.

Here are some reasons that Libya rocks:

1. The capital of Libya is Tripoli which is one of the places mentioned in Enya's song "Orinoco Flow". I used to love this song when I was a small child.

2. According to Wikipedia, Libya is the only country to have a flag of only one color and containing no design, insignia, or other details. In other words, Libya is the only country ballsy enough to be represented by just a green rectangle.

3. Point: Libya has no natural rivers and the government does not guarantee the right to a fair trial.

4. Modern Libya was founded in 1969 which is the same year that we landed on the moon. Coincidence?

So here's to you Libya: 4th largest country in Africa, Oh great land of the green rectangle, I would drink a toast to thee if only alcohol were legal within your boarders. Congrats on being our 92nd country and come back soon!

xoxo Hannah

Pictures of Things I saw in February

1. A creepy barn.

"She doesn't like it in the barn... the horses keep her up at night..."

2. This kid. She insisted upon wearing Dora the Explorer knee pads to the zoo, and I have respect for that.

3. A pile of otters. I want this for Christmas please.
