Two of my hats. On the left, the local brand.On the right, the international brand complete with flair.
This week's Two Things Challenge was Local / International. Originally, I was going to take pictures of the U.S. Department of State's main lobby with the flags of nations, but I didn't want to find parking in Foggy Bottom and I had visions of contending with some overzealous State Department police officer about security and prohibitions on photography. (Besides, I had to make German's Chocolate Cake for dessert this evening, which is not German, by the way.) So, once again, I looked around the house.
Local: Washington National's baseball hat. International: Pins on my Bergsteigerhut from Austria.
These two hats are from totally different parts of the world. The one on the left is my baseball hat for our local team, the Washington Nationals. The one on the right is my Bergsteigerhut (alpine hat) from when I lived in Austria 20 years ago. My Bergsteiger has a pin on it from every city I lived in and each city's respective province. In order: Linz in Upper Austria/Oberösterreich; Vienna; Wiener Neustadt in Lower Austria/Neiderösterreich; and Villach in Caranthia/Kärnten.
