Five-Minute Vacations

Monday again, and chances are you'd rather not be at work or school or whatever you have to get up on Monday for. What you need is a five-minute vicarious virtual vacation. Go to your favorite Webcam site and search for "beach," or "mountains," or "Paris," or wherever you'd rather be. Then sit back and enjoy the sights for a few minutes. It's a great way to blunt the edge of a stressful day. If you're eating lunch at your desk, why not enjoy a view of the Seine waterfront while you dine? Or Saint-Tropez? Or Rio? There are so many Webcams now that you could probably make it all the way around the world before you finish your sandwich. Try Earthcam's site for lots-o-links!
