Approaching Cuba

A country I want to visit some day but not sure when the restrictions will ever go away. That is Bahia de Santa Clara (Santa Clara Bay) in front of us. And that small town on the shores is La Teja. Lots of clouds in the sky today.

The idea is to knock off a couple of more countries

If everything goes to plan, we will cover Country #59 and #60. Meanwhile, I would have visited airport #166 and #167. And taken Airline #38. Let’s see what the future has for us.

Speaking of numbers, this is a milestone anniversary for us. Not the 25th (we are not that young) or 50th (not that old either). It is our 31st and for a person with unhealthy interest in numbers like me, that is a cool anniversary.

I am sure you have heard this from me many times how I think 31 is a unique number. To go over it again…

312 = 961
Reverse of 961 is 169
169 is 132
And of course reverse of 13 is 31.

So, the reverse of the square is the square of the reverse!!

I know, I marvel at the most inconsequential things in the world!!

177th country added

The country count of readers jumped from 176 to 177 very quickly. This time, it is from Nicaragua. Surprisingly, I have had readers from Lesotho and Burundi – but never from Nicaragua. Also, it is the last Central American country left for me to visit. Maybe once I go there and make friends, I will have more readers!

New reader from country #176

Not sure why somebody from Burundi is visiting my blog but while researching about some interesting facts about that country, I found this: Less than thirty years back, Burundi participated in their first Olympics (1996 in my current city Atlanta). And promptly won a gold medal!!
