Google Earth

I have discovered Google earth and LOVE IT! It's pretty clear for being free----I went to London and followed our path all over. Where we got off the train, walking to the London EYE and around and past Big Ben, Parliment, Westmister Abby - SO COOL! I showed T St. Paul's Cathedral and where he stood while M and I walked over to a quickymart and got some yummy almond cakes and juice. I think we got some salt and vinegar chips too - i really wish they had more of those here! The freaky thing is to type in your address when you are somewhere like London -- you are wisked up in the air and the world turns and focuses you back on a spot and zooms in on your house - wild! For $20 a year you can get more clear.

The way i found out about this is through my friend from Iraq. He pulled up Google earth, typed in a city in Iraq and - BAM--I was there, looking at all the buildings etc. He pointed out where he was almost killed in the Civil war when a group of Bath party thugs started throwing hand grenades and spraying them with a machine gun---he "almost bit that Iraqi dust" He said (in such an American way). He is flying to Iraq on Friday to be an interpreter........we are praying for his safe return in six months!!!!
