Vienna skyline, 2015
A week or two ago, Cee gave us a challenge of a country ending with K. What a great topic – and it gave me a need to complete the alphabet.
So, I’m taking a break from my Wednesday quotations (my last quote post gave a hint of this) and tackling geography with an alphabetic slant instead.
I’m kicking off with countries that end and begin with A. Not an easy start, as I can only name nine such countries, and have only visited two. Though another one was on my travel list for last year ….
Here we go, then, with a rapid jaunt around Austria.
For any of you who fancy joining in, here is my short list of A….A countries.
- Albania
- Algeria
- Andorra
- Angola
- Antigua and Barbuda
- Argentina
- Armenia
- Australia
- Austria
And next week will be easier – countries that end with A. There are in the region of eighty such countries – the exact number depends on those recognised as official countries and, of course, the language used.

I can only join in with Austria out of the nine you mentioned. I decided to post some pictures long before I had a decent camera but I think they didn’t turn out too bad: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2021/08/25/osterland-land-in-the-east-osterreich/

Andorra was my other one but no photos that I can find.
And Albania had been my plan for last year – turned into Rotterdam instead – due to earthquakes

It’s a favourite of mine too – such a beautiful spot.
And as for America – depends how relaxed you are on definition of a country. But I’m chilled with wide interpretation 🙂

I think that US citizens call themselves Americans.
