Here and Back Again

I've been playing with a neat little tool that Google has developed: http://maps.google.com. I enjoy it for a number of reasons:

1. When you type in an address it will show you the street layout (as expected) and it refreshes quickly when you drag the map around in the window to see what landmarks/roads are in the general vicinity.

2. When you click on the 'satelite' link it will show you an arial picture of the place for which you are looking. This is great for me because I'm generally bad with directions and it helps to see things before I drive past them wondering if they were the landmarks where I'm supposed to turn left.

3. It's cool to take pictures of your friends' houses and attach them to emails after disguising your sender's address and saying scary things about their front lawns (not that I would do that, but the option is still there).

Anyway, here is my church in South Carolina:
