Virtual Wanderlust

I've been using the Internet for over 10 years now, and it still manages to amaze me. What has captured my attention now? Google Earth! Google Earth is a satellite map of every place on earth wrapped around a virtual globe. It has absolute amazing control over visual perspective, including zooming, rotating, and tilting. With the amount of control that I have over what I am looking at it seems to be the closest thing to actually being there.

I have spent the last several days zooming around the world. Today, I took a trip up the Alaska Highway, climbed Mt. McKinley zipped down to Tierra Del Fuego at the southern tip of South America and then I explored the streets of Paris (reliving my backpacking trip their from 10 years ago). I saw the Eiffel Tower, the Pompidou Centre, and ran through the fountains of La Defense once again. Where will my wanderlust will bring me to tomorrow?
