<div id="ygrps-yiv-1671048113">Ok, Duh, the Boston enclaves were easy to remember,<br/>
but I forgot them.  Anyway, since there are only two<br/>
enclaves in the Boston area and nine in the Denver<br/>
area, I happen to think that Denver is more<br/>
interesting.  Especially since some of the enclaves<br/>
are size of blocks or less.  What is the point of such<br/>
enclaves?  I have no idea.  By the way there are two<br/>
counties in Tenessee which has fragments very thinly<br/>
connected, and they may be interesting too.<br/>
I would like to make a web page.  However, my domain<br/>
server gave me trouble not taking pictures.  If you<br/>
want, I can go for a text page of quadripoints.  Or<br/>
somebody can give me a domain where I can upload.  We<br/>
may also want to go for quintipoints at even lower<br/>
levels.  Another interesting thing I wanted to mention<br/>
was the enclave of Hebei that was created between<br/>
Tientsin and Beijing when the two aforementioned<br/>
city-provinces expanded and touched each other.  If I<br/>
am not mistaken, there are four tripoints between the<br/>
three provinces.  Are there many others?<br/>
There are two other international enclaves that I want<br/>
to mention.  One is the Likoma Islands, which are<br/>
Malawi territory, whose territorial waters around the<br/>
islands are completely surrounded by Tanzanian waters.<br/>
 The second are five pieces of German territory in<br/>
Belgium.  What happens is that there is a railway,<br/>
which is not only owned by Belgium, but it also owns<br/>
the land on which the rail goes.  When the railroad<br/>
goes into German territory and comes back, it creates<br/>
enclaves of German territory in between Belgium and<br/>
the railway.  There are five such enclaves.  The<br/>
enclaves show up as enclaves in German and Belgian<br/>
topo maps.<br/>
