__**Google Earth**__ This is a European trip that takes you to four different countries with many breath-taking views. Enjoy different European cultures thanks to the folks at Google.

Here is a map of four locations that I visit on my Sunday bike rides in Minnetonka. I start at my appartment, then I go to Dunn Brother's for a snack, then it's off to the Yacht Club by Lake Minnetonka, finally I go the movie theater in downtown Hopkins to see if anything good is playing.

__Google Lit Trip Review__** For my Google Lit Trip Review I followed the trip of the book //Candide// by the French author Voltaire. I have read pieces of this work and have completely forgotten what the story was about. When perusing the Google Lit Trip I realized that I wish I had known more about the story because the Lit Trip seemed fascinating. It brought me to several locations in France, then to South America, and finally to Istanbul. If I were to read the story along with taking the Lit Trip, I would believe that the Lit Trip would have proved itself to be a very helpful aid. However, without the literature, the Lit Trip comes across as boring with no storyline to follow. I can definitely see using something like this with my students by pairing a Google Lit Trip with a good piece of literature.
