For Calandria: Fun with Google Maps

This morning I was listening to my favorite morning radio show (Ian & Margery, FM 107) and they were talking about Google Maps - and how you can get directions to anywhere, similar to Mapquest but better.

So this afternoon the boys and I were playing with it, and in honor of you, Calandria, we got directions from Eden Prairie to Barcelona, Spain. It starts out quite innocently. You leave Eden Prairie on 494 heading east .... make your way through Wisconsin, over to Ohio, eventually to New Jersey .... then, in step 21:

Swim across the Atlantic Ocean ..... 3,462 miles

Step 22, you get onto E05 for half a mile, and take the second exit. And continue on until you are in Barcelona.

Total trip time: about 30 days, 10 hours. So if you move there, Calandria, now we all know how to come visit.

Funny! That's a heck of a lot of swimming. Maybe it's not worth it. :-)
