We’ve crossed the border into Mexico on my Pan-American Trek using Google Street View. The border town of Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, is very different from its cousin town of Laredo, Texas, but the cultural crossovers are still very evident. Nuevo Laredo is a key logistics hub in Mexico.
It’s been 8800 km from Dead Horse, Alaska, to Laredo, Texas, and it will be about 2400 km from Nuevo Loredo to Tapachula, at the Mexico-Guatemala border. Unfortunately, Google Street View isn’t available in the rest of Central America, so we’ll be doing a virtual flight from Mexico to Columbia, South America.
Some initial thoughts about the trip from Alaska to Texas:
* Google Street View is one of the most important photographic endeavors of history, and Street View drivers are photography pioneers. Really.
* A drive in Alaska can be the most boring imaginable or the most glorious.
* Alberta Highway 93, otherwise known as the Icefields Parkway, or Promenade des Glaciers, is heavenly.
* Towns really do have archetypal layouts; the “other side of tracks” is literally true.
* Decaying brick, wood, and metal are sustainable art.
* The US is a visibly Christian country.
* Grain and livestock businesses still exist in Grain Belt, but fewer people are needed for labor, so almost everyone has migrated, leaving modern ghost towns.
* Signage is often purposefully quirky, an artistic brand expression.
* No one is outside in the US, they’re only visible getting into, inside, or getting out of cars.
* Wall art falls into three categories – gang or random graffiti, “endorsed” wall art (by a town or business), and “unendorsed” wall art, the latter being typically the most intense and artistic.
* More old buildings exist as you go south, probably because of increased density and less harsh weather.
* The Texas Panhandle looks like it’s been standing up to a strong wind for a long time.
* Texans use trees purposefully to frame their houses.
* Mexican-Hispanic influence increases nonlinearly as a function of closeness to the Mexican border.
* Abandoned buildings are a luxury of a rich society; the US can afford to build structures that last and afford to leave them to decay without stealing their materials or re-using them in some intelligent way.
* Is it possible that there’s a “Law of Conservation of Interestingness”? In awesome landscapes the buildings are boring and aren’t made to last; in boring landscapes (dry landscapes?) the buildings are made to be more interesting and last a long time, which in turn makes them even more interesting.
* Is virtual photography a new field?
This is a Google bike. Google is such a massive place that they need bike's to get around. There are a number of sites that Google have. It would not be possible to walk to them. Google bike's are in
Google color's, of course.
The fun part is when you are at the lake (Shoreline), or some place else and see a Google bike, and someone off having fun, instead of working.

Building's on Barrow St., Grand Canal Dock, Dublin. The taller building on the right is Google's European Headquarters.They also have offices to the rear of the buildings in the shot, employing about 3,000 people in total. I had the occasion to visit this building recently, but unfortunately didn't have my camera at the time, as it affords great views out over the city.
