Then, drag the little mannekin over the area of interest and you should see lots of little blue squares. Each square represents a picture someone uploaded on google for the maps. The clear pictures on my post came from such a picture. <br /><br />I have edited the post to show the little mannekin. Hope this helps.<br /><br />I do get a bit homesick for Germany every now and then. But I remind myself that my memories are those of a carefree child, not an adult with responsibilities. All that being said, I do confess that my dream is to take my children to Germany some day.

Would your children like to see it? <br /><br />I went to google maps to look at the house I lived in when I was young (about 5 until 14), but the view was very blury. How did you find such a clear picture?<br /><br />Do you ever get "homesick" for Germany?Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831448349166435125noreply@blogger.com
