Flags

Around 16 years or so ago, a friend returned from a trip to Russia and brought me a flag. You are a Socials teacher she said, I thought you would like this. I did, it was very cool. The next year, she brought one from Cuba. Hmmm I thought, maybe I should see how many I get before I retire. Well over the years, students and friends, and a few odd strangers have sent me or brought me flags from all over the world. Each one has a story, which is the really interesting part for me, and I am well on my way to getting to the end of my goal. A student just brought me one from Kuwait, so I thought I might include the list here, maybe generate a flag or two along the way. Any size and any shape. I will even reimburse you if you want. Maybe one day I will take pictures of them all and post them up. Hmmm probably not any time soon.

Yeah I know, no BC go figure, will get on this summer. I started picking up province flags on a Cross Canada trip where we biked across. Did not get them all. Thought I got a BC one, maybe I lost it.
