Picture Book of Galveston

This post goes with the post which follows:
.
It's just one week since I arrived back from an Exploritas (Elderhostel) course on photography in Galveston, Texas. This little book is how I'm planning on keeping my favourite (Canadian spelling) shots. I haven't committed to buying it yet but think it will make a nice keepsake. Sorry the text is so small but if you go to the full-page setting you'll at least get a feel for the pictures. The photo of Tommy Townsend (last page) is my favourite one of all.
.
On the front cover I recognize the flags of the U.S., Mexico and Texas but can someone please tell me what the other one is.

When I downloaded all my pictures from my camera to my computer about half of them came with a separate .thm file (thumbnail), and none of those pictures will load into my PhotoScape picture-editing software. Any suggestions?

Also, if you have any suggestions as to how I might do a better job with my book I'll be happy to get them.
