Across the Ocean

photo from a trip to Florida several years ago.

I've got the beach on my mind this week, maybe because it feels like summer is finally here. I find this map so interesting. While I'm lying on the beach this summer I'm going to be thinking about which country is right across the ocean from me (Morocco!). Also, I would've guessed that the U.K. and Ireland aligned with the northeast U.S. rather than Canada. I always forget how far north they are!

A Look Inside Museums

Have you seen the new Google street view option? It let's you see the inside of museums all around the world! You can "wander" through the halls without ever leaving home. It's not quite the same as actually being there but it's still a lot of fun (and free!). You can see all of the options here. I've especially enjoyed exploring the Acropolis and the Van Gogh Museum. Hopefully I'll get to visit both in real life someday! What museums are you longing to visit?
