This day has been long waiting in coming...
After a long haul of ups and downs, travels and misjudging,
we finally know of our next destination.
We are going to...
wait, after all this time you really didn't think that I was just going to say it, did you?
Let's have some fun and see who can guess it...
This place is located in a region where there are extreme temperatures.
Today (Aug. 30th), it is 97F/36C; which is common in the very hot, dry, dusty summer months.
They can go to lows in the winter of -14F/-25C.....at least, and some snow.
They are 8 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time (U.S. East Coast).
It borders 5 different countries; one of which it was part of until it took
its independence in 1992, when it also changed to its current name.
It is at the mouth of a landlocked Sea and a river separates it's different sides....
Can you guess the city and country?

You nearly drove me crazy trying to figure this out. And don't say I was already crazy anyway! I will be looking to your reports from this part of the world. It is a place I will likely never see. In fact, if I went there I would probably get very lost!!!
Wow! Quite a move for you all. I hope the best!
Good luck BG!
Wow! How facinating! I can't wait to view it via your eyes! Not really heard much about it! So exciting!
PS: I am just taking a break. You know that I haven't really run away to Paris. As much as I want to:)
