International Reach

The most fascinating part of blogging (for me) is to see how many people from other parts of the world find one of my posts or somehow stumble across something that I had to say. I'm not saying anything about the quality of the experience that they had, just that they visited my blog for one reason or another. For example, here are the last 18 visitors today to this blog:

1. Silver Spring, Maryland, United States
2. Upland, California, United States
3. Caldecote, Slough, United Kingdom
4. Istanbul, Istanbul, Turkey
5. Madrid, Madrid, Spain
6. Mechelen, Antwerpen, Belgium
7. United Kingdom
8. Washington, District of Columbia, United States
9. Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
10. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
11. Calcutta, West Bengal, India
12. Indianapolis, Indiana, United States
13. Greensboro, North Carolina, United States
14. Indianapolis, Indiana, United States
15. Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom
16. Reykjavík, Gullbringusysla, Iceland
17. Skopje, Karpos, Macedonia
18. United Kingdom

8 from the U.S. (6 states plus the D.C.) and 10 from foreign countries. I have never been to Turkey, Spain, Belgium, the U.K., India, Iceland, or Macedonia. But my blog has.
