Independencia GPS maps

I've always had a hard time finding our Independencia clinic on a map. Thanks to my GPS unit, that will no longer be a problem. We now have a map on the lower right side of the Peacetrip blog page. FYI, the GPS coordinates for the clinic are:
latitude 31.61289155
longiture -115.88957322

For those with Google Earth installed, ( free download ) you can view our trip as if you were on a helicopter, plane, or satellite. Here's the KMZ file; open it AFTER you've installed Google Earth. If you're zoomed in enough, you'll see our trip highlighted as a magenta colored line. Spin your mouse wheel to zoom, drag the mouse around to move around the map. Move the compass to spin and tilt your perspective. You can also search for major cities and landmarks, and it will fly you around the world in 80 seconds. Very, very cool program.
