Thanks for sharing Fr. Bill+.
Truly, Hollywood is a better travel agent than history teacher.
Would you have ever heard of Dyersville, IA if not for the Field of Dreams? Tourism in Northern Ireland, Iceland and Malta is enjoying Game of Thrones. 50 years later, the hills of Salzburg are still alive with the Sound of Music.
Not to forget Lord of the Rings and New Zealand and those who flock to Yorkshire to see Downton Abbey.
