I obtained this information through the CIA. Seriously, I found this really great site: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/be.html#top
(sorry for the long web address, this is my first blog with my new Macbook and I haven't figured out how to make a link yet.)
I thought you might be interested, especially those home schoolers out there. I think it's a great reference for Geography and World History. However, it is the CIA, so they are probably keeping track of who visits!

Cory is loving Liberty Mutual! It is such a different pace from his last job; he doesn't even feel like he is working. We are thankful for the change for Cory's sake :-)
