[MLUG - DISCUSSION] Update on "Photos from Ecuador"

[Mike Miller <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

In case you are interested, I updated all the photos and added new ones:

Click where you see "larger version of it with a caption" -- that used to 
link to a boring list of filenames but I have it fixed up with little 
thumbnails now so it is a lot more useful.

Also note use of Google Maps on 8/17, 8/18 (views from roof), and 8/30. 
The nice thing about Google Maps that distinguishes it from Google Earth, 
is that it can give you a URL that will let you tell a user exactly where 
the center of the map is and the zoom level.  You don't know how big their 
browser window is, so you don't know what they are seeing in the 
periphery.  Google Earth will label geographical landmarks.  Google Maps 
doesn't do that, yet, but it does use URLs and it doesn't require anything 
but a browser to work.

Ecuador is a fascinating country.  We only traveled a little bit on this 
trip and spent most of our time living in the homes of Fanny's relatives 
in the Quito metro area.  We made a trip to the shore (Atacames) and 
another trip to Otavalo.  Next time (in a year or so) we will probably hit 
the Galapagos Islands as part of our journey.

Best,

Mike
