Update to Maps plus a new video
At the request of Ron K. I’ve made a new map of our travels that shows the entire route marked on a large map of India. All the cities we visited are marked with red dots and are connected by lines showing our road or rail routes. Please note that this map is probably larger than your display screen and your browser will probably shrink it to fit. In order to easily see the names of the cities on the map you should zoom in on it to display it at 100% size. You can access this map from either the Maps menu on the bar at the top of the page or by clicking below.
Deb’s small digital camera records video and audio in addition to taking still pictures. She didn’t use this feature much as it burns through memory really fast, but she did take a short video of “Mr. Speedy” driving the day before we had our wreck. At the time this video was shot he was driving in his less dangerous mode. Later he switched to the aggressive mode that was so scary but we didn’t take any video during those times as it was just too scary to work the camera. The file is large (17MB) so it will take a long time to download even on a broadband connection. For full effect you should turn up the volume on your computer to a fairly high level and you should also maximize the video so that it fills your monitor. There is a link to the file on the Photos menu or you can click on the link below to see it.
