Tonight, when the dark sky full of stars and a half moon was covering our balcony I received a new visitor from the north east of South America,
Guyana.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiisFARvgxExBiX-cvBCU6nu3fmZXPEsO1Zxsg4VW6ghU6o33j3KS_uAAm78nLMCgrwJBHObvQ-8z7X8w8cpkcHKIapueFequa-0EudtFth5FLyGpVU7fIOSpPhZK95LfvU7y7udMGfd8o/s400/IMG_0603.JPG.jpg)
I do not know much about dansing in Guyana, but at our pool bar these dancers made an acceptable performance when performing
Pasodoble etc.

Modern Guyana is bordered to the east by
Suriname, to the south and southwest by
Brazil, to the west by
Venezuela, and on the north by the
Atlantic Ocean.
At 215,000 km
2, Guyana is the third-smallest independent state on the mainland of South America (after
Uruguay and Suriname). Its population is approximately 770,000. It is one of the four non-
Spanish-speaking territories on the continent, along with the countries of
Brazil (
Portuguese),
Suriname (
Dutch), and
French Guiana (
French).

The
flag of Guyana, known as
The Golden Arrowhead, was adopted in 1966. It was designed by
Whitney Smith, a prominent American
vexillologist . The colours are
:
green for agriculture and forest
,
white for rivers and water
,
gold for mineral wealth,
black for endurance, and
red for zeal and dynamism.
The visitor from Guyana (my 153 flag) was one of 52 new unique visitors yesterday.
