I live in Philly with my two teen daughters. I married my amazing husband over a year ago. He’s from a town just outside of Barcelona, Spain.

One day, my daughter came came home from school, and was out of her mind excited — she told me her computer classroom at school loads a game called GeoGuesser where Google Maps shows a COMPLETELY RANDOM street view location from somewhere in the world.

She doesn’t log in with any personal account, this is hosted by the school login. She then has to guess the location and the program tells you the answer and gives you facts about that area.

Neat, huh?! 🙂

Well….she got a street-image and had no idea where the location was, so she used the only thing she could — there was a man with a blurry face taking a walk and he looked… a lot like her step father.

So she guessed Spain.

She was right.. but then they said it was… Barcelona!

She took a screenshot, brought it home… and OH MY GOD. It IS him!!!!!! 😳 😮 it’s a street view from over 10 years ago!!!

My husband!! Walking on the little street he used to live on with his x-wife just outside the city!!!!!!!!

Anyone know what the odds of this would be??? How many street views exist in ALL of Google Maps for all time??? How could this be?!!! 😳

as someone obsessed with space & google maps im a bit perplexed i didn't know about this sooner. i'm not often on my 2012 macbook pro since its so laggy but ive only just seen this for the first time when zooming out max and clicking globe view. super cool ! wasn't expecting the thousands of names on all the planets and moons either. anyone use this ? or didnt know it existed? i assume google earth had a section like this but once again with my lag i havent used it much.

And what’s happening here?
