Touring the World

So I was a little bored the other day and tried to poke around different World sites on Google Maps. Most countries don't have the "street map overlay" ability so finding your way around anywhere other than North America & Britian (there are probably other countries that have maps too...) is a real pain. I was going to put down links to some of the better sites that I had been trying to look up, to make it easier in the future and in case anyone else wanted to find them. Then I thought, there's probably a website that already has this info. Sure enough:
Sightseeing with Google Satellite Maps

Here are a few of the more interesting places I found myself:
Eiffel Tower
Giza Pyramids & Sphinx
Buckingham Palace
Mt. Fuji
Poking around Ecuador, a smoking volcano (I think) and the middle of the world (maybe a bit off and anyways, not nearly as interesting as I'd hoped)
Candlestick Park is fun to view too, but I'll let you find that one yourselves.
