| Because there is nothing like traveling to another
country to understand a culture, and because geography tells us huge
amounts of information about cultures, and because the Google Earth
software gives us an amazing "virtual reality" ability to see these
fascinating places, I am placing some useful Google Earth "KMZ" links here
for you to download. First,
you'll have to download and install the Google Earth software.
Then, you can download and then use each of the following KMZ files to
point your Google Earth "browser" to these locations.
They will open as Zip files, so when you click it, the option to "open" or
"save" will appear. With Windows XP, the Zip file can be opened by
simply selecting "open", and then you will see the file with the extension
doc.kml, double click that, and your Google Earth browser will "fly"
to the location.

Galapagos Ecuador
Cuenca, Ecuador,
Tungurahua Volcano in Ecuador
Mariscal Estigarribia,
Paraguay, the "secret" location in Paraguay very near where the Bush family and
Reverend Sun Myung Moon together own chunks of real estate the size of Rhode
Island sitting atop the world's largest underground aquifer, and it's next
to a
large military airbase. Lots of weird stuff going on here folks....
What are the Bush family and Moon doing together? Conspiracy theories
abound--will this be the hideout for the Bush family after he leaves
office? Is this a new secret torture site for the CIA? Is this
the new promised land for the Unification Church, complete with American
military support? Is this merely a resource grab to control the
fresh water in South America? A military base for
attacking Bolivia if they keep electing leftists, and "protect" the
natural gas deposits there?
