What's Happening in Plymouth Today?
It's getting close to Thanksgiving. People will be traveling this week to visit family and to celebrate Thanksgiving. Most people work for the first couple of days of Thanksgiving but take the rest of the week off. **Task:** Let's check out the traffic in Plymouth today and along the east coast to see if there is much traveling going on.
 * Open Google Earth and uncheck all the layers.
 * Check the traffic layer. You'll find this layer under the More folder, then inside the Transportation folder.
 * Now search for Plymouth, MA.
 * Zoom in and you should start seeing the traffic - green, yellow, and red dots. Just like a traffic light they represent the speed of traffic in real time.
 * Click on the dots to see the speed of traffic.
 * Go up and down the east coast looking at the movement of traffic. Where is the heaviest traffic?

If your family is traveling to a large city over the holiday, check out the traffic on Google Earth before you go! Turn on the roads layer so you can be prepared to help navigate.
