a wonderful discovery...
Okay, first a couple of AR pics...
but this post really doesn't have anything to do with what Autumn has done lately...which has been alot; but rather something I discovered last week when messing around on Google Earth.
Apparently the satellites have been busy lately. Google Earth's latest update brought a wonderful discovery. WanZhou is now "on the map". Ever since I first jumped on Google Earth, WanZhou was pretty much a green/brown/blue fuzzy area. Pretty much all you got was the location of where it is. (ChongQing had some detail and you could zoom down to a degree, but alot of it was "un-documented" on Google Earth). Now, you can literally see buildings, roads, parks, topographical details, etc for WanZhou. People have even pinned photos of around the city there. I'm excited about this because.......well, we don't know that much about the place where Autumn's from. I've seen a few pics of WanZhou by scanning the internet, and have read alittle bit about the city, but now it's more "real" and feels more "accessible". ChongQing City as well. We were there to get Autumn and stayed at a wonderful hotel (Empark Golden Resources) and went to the zoo, 'old town', etc. But I never knew where we really were. I finally found the hotel and places and could see where we were in relation to where other places in CQ are. It's just been a neat feeling to be able to see these things and especially check out WanZhou to a degree since we didn't get to go there. It's also a feeling of having found a piece of Autumn's background.

Cute piccies and I'm going to check out google map...thanks for the info.
Ditto what Lisa said. I've "gone: to WanZhou several times but never seen anything clear. I may be writing again to get help finding the landmarks.
I'll e-mail my schedule and hopefully we can figure out a way to get together.
