Google Sightseeing takes you on tour of the world as seen from satellite, using the free Google Earth program, or Google Maps in your web browser. Each weekday your guides James and Alex present new weird and wonderful sights as suggested by readers.
The white blob in our thumbnail is a parasail, with the speedboat doing circles just to the East. This is just off the coast of Mexico where we can see the Rui Palace hotel (again, under construction in the satellite photo) where submitter “DJ Swammi” is going on honeymoon next month.

I would say that Placemark: this red blob / Google Earth is another parasailer.
I think you mean the Riu Palace in Los Cabos.
Looks pretty flippin’ sweet!
Yeah, I can’t wait!
Those “Colorful” bugs are actually “road markets” or “Tianguis” [tee-ang-ees]… Huge street markets where you can buy food, clothes, and a whole new deffinition for the phrase “product/brand piracy”, some of them are also known as good places to find what you have “lost” during a robbery.
