Google recently made several exciting updates to its Google Earth platform. The first is that it is now browser-based, and you will no longer need to download the program. Locations know have Knowledge Cards, which gives you overviews of the location. Each location will now also spin in 3D. The update I like the most is called Voyager, which are interactive stories you can explore in Google Earth. Voyager stories range from Jane Goodall, Urban Gardens, The Grand Canyon, and one I really called This is Home, exploring homes from around the world. Definitely worth checking out!
BOOK TIP: The Sleepwalker by Chris Bohjalian
Chris Bohjalian is a masterful storyteller, weaving together realistic contemporary fiction with a twist of suspense and mystery. In his latest novel, The Sleepwalker (this was one of my vacation reads!), deals with parasomnia. Annalee Ahlberg is a sleepwalker and disappears one night. But did something happen while she was sleepwalking or was foul play involved? And how does her family deal with this?
