Coca tea is perfectly legal in Bolivia; Lipton's sells it commercially-packaged. It is GREAT for altitude sickness. 100 B's for the tank is pretty good value! :-)

The culture developed there included a bishop and at least one monastery. Some students hurt their brains trying to answer the question whether the history of Christianity in Greenland belongs in a discussion of Europe or North America. Ditto for L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland.

Well said! The temptation niggling away at me is to return to the negative nationalism (?chauvinism) of my teen, pre-Christian years. It was an ugly thing and I do not want to allow its darkness back in. I must allow Romans 12:14-21 to sink into my soul.

It's a similar case with St. Pierre et Miquelon. It is an overseas department of France, not a sovereign state.
It is also the setting of a new police drama:

A late friend published 8 novels back in the 1950s through 1970s. In the late 1990s, I was called as her church's minister. When I told her I had a copy of each of her books, she was shocked. One had been published only in the USA, with only 1000 copies. I now own a rare copy with a rare signature.

Seeing that illustration, I am instantly thrown back four decades to when I read that book to my kids.
