I don’t think I would have gotten #22, Vatican City, but I’m impressed so many of y’all did!

#23 – This one seems a little harder.  Guess away!

One of the country’s borders is with Liechtenstein.  The Matterhorn is located in this country as is the headquarters for the Red Cross.  This city was recently found to have the 2nd highest quality of living in the world, outranked only by one of the other cities in this country.  The headquarters for Rolex and other watch companies are in this city.  John Calvin founded a university here, and the world’s oldest international school is located in this city as well.  The international seat of the United Nations is here, as is the International Committee of Committees (that makes me laugh).

Thanks for the guesses!  #21 is The Hague, Netherlands.

#22 – For this one, you either know it or you don’t.

This is the world’s smallest independent state, both in area and population (821 people).  It is landlocked with a wall separating it from the neighboring country.  It is ruled by a non-hereditary, elected monarchy.  The state has no diplomatic service of its own and embassies to this state are located in another country’s capital city.  The state has a non-commercial economy.

Luke is right, #20 is Guatemala City.  Knowing the Seabourns might be there bumps it up on the list!

#21.

The country’s largest settlement abroad was Cape Colony, aka Cape Town.  The country is one of the member nations of the Benelux economic union.  This city is the actual seat of government of the country, but not the official capital.  It is also home to all embassies in the country.  Due to Indonesia being one of the country’s former colonies, there is a sizable Indo influence in the city.  The former Bosnian Serb leader, Radovan Karadzic, will be in this city today for his first court appearance.

So I got brave today and finally tried a recipe from my “Deceptively Delicious” cookbook. I made the brownies with veggies purees in them. I can’t tell you exactly what veggies I did because Seth doesn’t want to know what is in them until he gets to taste it. Anyhow, they are really yummy! You’ve got to try them! I don’t know about anyone else, but I would much rather have a dessert that I can enjoy without feeling bad about eating!

On another very random note, our dear South African friends The Towle’s and The Cook’s surprised Jackson with a Fisher-Price bike yesterday since he lends out his baby gear so much! It was so thoughtful and he loves it!
