Wikimapia Pohnpei

Wikimapia, kind of link Wikipeida, is a map that anyone can edit. They use Google Maps satillite images as the back drop and then you can name certain landmarks. Below I have pointed to a few that might interest you about Micronesia.

This is where we live:

The cross hairs point to the house that we are living in now. The box on the left is Angie's Fast food. It is nothing like fast food you have ever had. If you are in town you should try the Yellow Fin Tuna Sashimi with coconut milk : )

College of Micronesia, National Campus:

Ant Atoll:

We went to this atoll the day after we arrived on Pohnpei. The cross hairs point to the pass we went through.
