Trivial Pursuit

While I was at work today (and should have been paying attention to what was going on around me), I noticed a map on the wall, and my eye caught the nation of Eritrea. I was slightly embarrassed within my distraction that I had, prior to that moment, no clue as to where Eritrea was.

If you had a map of the world without the nation's listed, could you put your finger down within a thousand miles of Eritrea? I couldn't.

Isn't it in East Africa? East of Sudan, near Djibouti (sp?) and Etheopia? I went to Egypt a few years back and one of the missionaries I was working with was preparing to move to Massawa (I think that's how it's spelled), which is one of the major cities in that country. I don't know much else...

p.s. You can barely see Eritrea on the map of below. It is at the north end of the picture in red but is not labeled.
