Doing my duty (ha!)

Since this blog is not just about pretty pictures of places we've visited, but also about living in a foreign country, I thought I'd just mention my latest "life abroad" factoid. I received my absentee ballot for the presidential election and mailed it in yesterday. Even though my vote doesn't actually count (unless there's a run-off in New York, which there won't be since the state always goes to a Democrat), it still made me feel good...and like I was still connected to the US in some small way.

Hopefully, when I eventually come back it will be a nice place to come home to.
