Dalian on Google Earth

A million other bloggers have posted that you can see Dalian in the latest BETA version of Google Earth. I thought you might be interested in seeing where we are and where some of the "landmarks" mentioned in the blog are.

First, you need to download Google Earth from here.

Then you install the program, and click on the links below when Google Earth is open on your computer. It will automatically take you to each one. By the way, I understand the irony of not using full names in my blog, and then providing the exact coordinates of where we live. What can I say, we're all full of contradictions :)

Dogs - love them, don't eat them

My dog Cody didn't want us to go to China. He parked himself next to our bags the night before we left!
