I notice one is italicized and the other not. Could be country name and continent name? Are there labels for Africa, Europe, etc?

I texted my daughter in ABQ and she saw it, though her photo doesn’t compare to yours! Also called my parents in Colorado and they saw it too. No luck for me, yet.

Also! Since you’re in California, my books are available to check out from the San Diego county library via inter library loan.
