George, thanks I am recovering-just way behind in my work now and frantically trying to catch up (which will never happen). What I meant by semi pene-exclave...
Just to whet your whistle, George and others, I've attached a photo of the border on the way to Os de Civis from last Friday. This is looking from Andorra into...

Hi Dallen, Yes, I did. I'll dig it out for you (I think I still have it somewhere). This was not a very officially-looking map, but nevertheless quite clear. ...
