Does anybody else find themselves wasting (?) hours looking at the planet through google maps? I think it might be my new obsession. I can't help myself. A mention of a place I don't know and I'm google-mapping it and, before I know it, have distracted myself for a
long time. Usually time I can't afford. ;~P
But I can't express how enamoured I am of this planet, and how pretty it is. The colours and shapes... I can look at them forever!
I was reading a news article this morning in which there was a reference to Lake Titicaca, and I realised, despite knowing the name really well, I had no idea where it was or what it looked like. Enter google maps. And, as per my usual style, I looked around a bit and found this pretty place -
...and ending up spending an hour trying to find the name of this body of water. The best I can do is tell you that it's in Bolivia, south of Lake Titicaca, and west of Lake Poopo`. Why doesn't google maps label water? I've had this problem looking up rivers too. Bad googlemaps!
But isn't it
pretty?!
I love the place. I spent hours the other day looking up the area I was born in, finding my grandparents place and where we used to live and looking at the pier.
So much fun.
