Google Earth

If you've ever played with Google Earth, you'll get what I'm saying in this post. If you haven't, then you really should look into it. It's that cool. For the last couple of days, I've been exploring the earth, looking at people's pictures. Anyone can post an image up to google earth, and I think I'll be doing so in the future.

But last night, after listening to a story on This American Life about the guys who guard the border between Mexico and the US, I decided to check out the border.


I think it's so neat that there are buildings on the border. Now, admittedly, this is the same on the North side of the border. Check out this guy's place. His driveway begins in the US, and ends in Canada. This is North Dakota and Manitoba.

But that's just me being weird. Because if you want, you can look at small towns in the coast of Spain, which some people would say is more fun. This is a turned on it's side view of Malaga, Spain. Look at the mountains in the back. And the beach in the front. Wow.


Anyway, here's the link to Autumn. Because of a link up with Wikipedia, and images built right in to Google Earth, we plan to do a country every night before bed time, when she gets a little more aware. Spain. Iceland. New Zealand. Cameroon. Where would you like to visit? We plan to explore the world with Google Earth and gain an appreciation for it. Then, maybe we'll hit places we really love. Like that beach in the above shot. Check this out:

Cool.
