For intrepid out-of-state travelers who experience iffy map reading skills when under pressure, I think Swan Road should lead to a ballet instead of an AFB.

Tokorozawa is a suburb of Tokyo. We spent most of the time there, staying with family. The area highlighted in green is where we went on a 2-day getaway with some of the family -- to a hot springs resort and other sights in the area.

From this map you can imagine how much reclamation was created. There is no Marina South at that time.

This is by far one of the most amazing builds in Second Life. Quality site, free maps and globes for the taking. An excellent video can be watched in the upstairs classroom. Then head off for an interactive experience finding your home on the huge map and putting a pin in place and immersing yourself in the terrain.
Ik geef niks weg, maar heel erg moeilijk is-ie ook niet, zeker niet door de naam van dit geinig buurtschap erop
Sept 26 Turkish Steps, then through Agrigento to Catania
Took in the Scala dei Turchi - The Turkish Steps- Realmonte, Sicily. These were formed by thousand of years of erosion of the marl. Marlstone is a calcium carbonate or lime-rich mud or mudstone. The sea eroded the rock to look like steps. It received its name from the time when Sarasin pirates (Turkish) raided the villages on the cliffs above the sea. We should have parked in the lot and paid our 5 Euro. We parked on the street with 100s of others and came back to a 30 Euro parking ticket. Parking tickets can be paid at any local open post office. The trip into the post office was a glimpse of the Italian government at work. This is a good time to mention that locals participate in a daily reposta, or “closed time”, of their businesses. It seems to occur any time between noon and 4. Then folks open up after 4, then seem to close between 6-8 pm. They seem to do daily grocery shopping for dinner at their local delicatessen. We fell in easily with the custom of eating our main meal at lunchtime and then wine, cheese, bread and prosciutto in the evening.
Ahead of us, 2.5 hr to Catania - We didn’t have a lot of time to spend along the way, but from the car, we did see the temples of Agrigento up on the hill. Points of interest about Agrigento – It’s known for the ruins of the ancient city of Akragas in the Valley of the Temples, a vast archaeological site with well-preserved Greek temples. On the modern city's outskirts is the Museo Archeologico Regionale 'Pietro Griffo', with artifacts and a telamon (giant male figure).
Stopped along the route for lunch in a 4 star restaurant at Ristorante Pizzeria Baffo’s Castle, Marinells di Selinunte. Lunch was a delicious selection of pizzas and pastas, tasting from all of our family’s plates. The local diners were treated to a serenade by the traveling Sicilian minstrels.

You may have seen my 'St. Jacques' Metro map. That map was full of stations named after people I met at university.
This map, which I'm redesigning, incorporates stations named after people from secondary school. All the stations are named, but check this link: speedytortoisetravel.webs.com/centrallineblues.htm
The lines are so complicated, and every other station seems to have an interchange. I started from the lines for this 'city', unlike the St. Jacques one where I started from scribbled lines in a circle and slowly neatened everything out, and adding stations from there.
Joining up the lines makes a contrived, tangled, map which will turn out to be extremely tall and very narrow. I think it's probably impossible to join everything up... so I'm redesigning everything into a map not dissimilar to the St. Jacques one.
I've also missed out a lot of people on the line diagrams so this is a good opportunity to include everyone. I'll finish this at some point in the far future...
Yes, I've even done one for primary school. It was absolutely crazy. It had 1,331 lines in total. I only knew one line, well part of it, anyway. It was extremely complicated, branched as hell and had about 700 stations on it. I don't think I'll redesign it.
I also have a map for all my friends in Corsica, but it suffers from the same problem as the Conapega map, as once again, I started from the lines. I may redesign that one too, but I won't have a circle! Too mainstream.
