Travel Just About Anywhere for Free! (Online art lesson #40)

That’s right: Travel almost anywhere for free.  There’s only one caveat – you have to go with “The Little Man”. 

Surely, no one would call my beloved husband a Little Man.., so who is this guy and why has he just taken me to France and the Caribbean, and why am I in love with him?  OK, it’s a weird relationship, and I feel like I’m dragging him around a lot.  But it works for me.  And it could work for you too.

I just took this photo of Saint Jean Cap Ferrat on the Cote D’ Azur.  The Little Man lets me drive.  We’ve had lots of accidents, but, oh well… HE never complains.  He is all about doing whatever I want.  Is he Mr. Perfect?  You’ll have to decide for yourself.

The same view but in the other direction. Just use your arrow keys to turn around (or to look up or down).

I have these commissioned paintings and needed to go abroad to look around at the locations a bit.

The Little Man will take me every where – as long as Google Maps has been there before.  

Let me introduce you.

the little man who does my bidding

I've just clicked on him and he's snapping into action.

1. Go to GOOGLE.   2. Click on MAPS

3.Click on the Little Man.

4.  Drag him to where you want to go.  Come one now, forget all those new age ideas about discussing it first – just drag the guy.

Here he is, flying me where ever I want.

Here he is, flying me where ever I want. See those blue dots? They become photos if you drop off on them. If you drop on the road, you can drive around. This is the spot where I dropped for the driving photos above.

He takes some getting used to – there is a learning curve.  Hang in there.

Yes, he is a little stiff.  I offered to buy him a massage.  It hurts just looking at the tension in his shoulders.  He didn’t answer (never does), so I’ll get a massage for myself instead.

  1. Thank you for sharing the traveling companion. He has taken me to Canada and Chili all in about one minute. What a guy!

    • Lillian Kennedy says:

      He’s a fast mover, for sure. He could also take you to Moab and you could check things out before you “really” arrive.

  2. Jean in NH says:

    The little guy and I have some communication issues but overall I like him and how he expands my horizons.

    This was a fun post.

    • Lillian Kennedy says:

      Yes, he has his mysterious aspects that I can’t comprehend. Of course, I’m too busy looking around to pay that much attention.
