Why Geography? Google Earth

What a way to spend a day...
Seriously, when we turn the computer on and pull up Google Earth, we can spend hours just looking around at all the cool stuff.  Where we've been, where we want to go, whatever.  We LOVE Google Earth!
This is an amazing resource.  In putting together a scrapbook of my husbands trip to Europe when he was in high school, I used Google Earth and the pictures that people posted, to map out his trip and to identify buildings and sights that he saw, but didn't note down.  In the weeks of researching every picture he took on many rolls of film, I felt as if I'd been along for the ride.  It opens up the world to people who are interested, but cannot afford, to go exploring!
