Cheap Travel

Have you guys seen this? It's Google Earth. Download the program. It's free. It'll blow your mind. You can check out most any area on earth with satellite photos. I played with this for hours today day. It's like traveling, but cheaper. I bookmarked a few places of interest. I think you can just click the links if you have Google Earth downloaded. If not, just type in the coordinates in the brackets and it'll take you to that location. Try it out. It kinda freaks me out a bit, but I'm fascinated by it at the same time.

• My House [45°47'35.90"N, 108°35'13.33"W]
• My Apartment when I lived in LA [34° 5'50.20"N, 118°20'3.32"W]
• The Rat and Parrot, a pub I frequented while I lived in London [51°30'28.54"N, 0°18'18.07"W]
• Tower Bridge in London [51°30'21.54"N, 0° 4'32.47"W]
• The White House [ 38°53'51.58"N 77° 2'11.63"W]
• Niagra Falls [43° 4'36.87"N, 79° 4'29.19"W]
• Mount Rushmore [43°52'44.19"N, 103°27'36.08"W]

I think it has better photos of city areas. I assume they catalog those areas more than rural areas. I tried going to Stonehenge and Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, but the images are so poor that you can't see anything. Which is really too bad, because these are the places I'm interested in.

If you guys get a chance, post some of your own coordinates. Oh, I also added a Frappr map on the side bar. Go ahead and add yourself while you're at it.
