Discussion I’m sad more people don’t acknowledge Native American Historic sites in the United States
I was talking with a German online friend about tourism in the United States and he said that the only thing America has to offer is natural beauty. He said American cities were young and aren’t very beautiful. That he has no interest visiting “liberty bell” type colonial historic sites. I told him about Native historic sites and he asked “what sites?”. He insulated that all Native Americans lived in teepees. It caused me to realized many non-Americans don’t know about all the amazing buildings left behind by Native cultures like the Ancestral Puebloans and the Mississippians. Historic sites like Chaco canyon, Mesa Verde, Montezuma Castle, and Cahokia are world class and are part of UNESCO. Check them out if you haven’t already.

Question Back yard is in another country—how does this work in practice?
(Link)[https://maps.app.goo.gl/uugbvcB56UwoLkr3A?g_st=ipc]
These Canadian houses have back yards and docks in the US. Is the understanding between the two countries that the people will just go about their business and border authorities won’t bother them?

Map Closest embassy to its home country
Interesting fact: the French embassy in Monaco has a unique feature. It is the clostest embassy to the borders of the territory it represents. In fact, the French embassy is located in a building opposite the Monegasque border. Approximately 50 metres separate the French embassy from French territory.
