Google Earth

This summer my husband, kids and I will be heading to Europe. As always, I'm in the one who makes all the reservations. We don't like hotels because in Europe the max. occupancy is two people; therefore is necessary to rent two rooms which is very expensive. An apartment makes you feel more like home. My husband loves to go every morning to local supermarkets and buy fresh mozzarella, bread and fruit. I make the coffee and we enjoy a relaxing breakfast. It was not easy to find and apartment in Italy since the rental periods run only from Saturday to Saturday. Finally, I found one in a small village called Colmegna. It s located at one mile to Maccagno which is the town where my son is going to be. The owner accepted to let us rent for thirteen days starting Tuesday. The photos were great so I paid and the deal was done. Two day a go, browsing on the internet I went to Google Earth to see the place in 3D. I zoomed in where the apartment was supposed to be located and in fact I saw he house from above and right across the street I saw an open space which I thought it was a park. Then I saw something that looked like little squares and I thought, "well, it might be a parking lot." I set google into 3D mode and guess what I saw. An old cemetery right across my house!!!! My husband didn't care much, and my son thought that for sure it was going to be very quiet. But where was my lake, my street with WALKING people? My husband wrote an email to the owner and told him that I was "a little impressed," immediately he responded that the house number was wrong and the house was located one Km from the cemetery. In disbelieve, I opened once again my google earth, and zoomed in toward the correct address. Fortunately the house I saw matched the house on the web. There was no doubt, I was looking to the right house. It is located less that two blocks from the lake in the middle of the town and far from the cemetery. Thanks Google Earth!
