Found our Urumqi hotel on Google Earth

On a whim, I went to maps.google.com tonight, and pulled up Urumqi, to see if I could spot our hotel from the satellite photo. Funny enough, I found it almost instantly. Click here to see where we stayed. To the left is the park we visited a few times (where Rachael and Robby ate dripping ice cream surrounded by locals). Our hotel is the shape of an upside-down Y, with a circle on top, on the bottom left, across the highway from the park.
