Try to pinpoint on the map where you are. You can move forward, turn, etc. to look for hints.
Good luck!

Maps
This is one of the most amazing maps I've ever seen.
Check it out here.
It's U.S. immigration since 1880. Check out different decades. Check out different countries of origin. Alter the bubble sizes. Have fun. Comment, please.
Also, for a visual of World War II - If Maps Could Fight take a look here. A playful twist on war - how creative is that?!? (yes, in a sick way, but creative nonetheless)

The End of Christmas (kind of)
I found this on my camera today - forgot I had taken it. I'm sure I've never seen the airport this empty; it's from the Sunday morning we went to pick up Girl-child (when she came home from Chile): 
Christmas was weird for us this year, as I'm sure I've mentioned. It's the end of January and I still haven't finished going through my cards. I didn't send any out this year. I really don't feel like it any more, but there are a few I'll have to write before the snow melts ...

I really don't feel like it any more, but there are a few I'll have to write before the snow melts ...I did just finish celebrating by exchanging gifts last weekend with a dear friend. Knowing that I'm a map nut, she found a cool mini-globe with Vaugondy's 18th century vision of our planet; he was mapmaker to Louis XIV. It's fun to think that this is the way Louis and company saw the world.
The bamboo cups were also a gift - the globe on one and some of my smaller, harder-to-keep-track-of needles in the other: 
I have to figure out how to display the globe with this leather map we have in the dining room - something we picked up in Spain on our "honeymoon" waaay back when:
And also - can you believe there's more? - this super-cool dish from Northern Clay Center that goes perfectly in my house:
We put it on the comma table:

Thing 9
I've decided to edit the commentary on an early map of Hispaniola available on the Library of Congress' website.
Since Columbus never knew where he had been, I think it's important to include the fact that he was lost on any information related to his "discoveries".
:-P
Yes, there would be lots of library applications for this thing ... particularly when working on putting together instruction for freshman classes teaching them how to use the library for research in a particular field.
