Where in the world is Albert Einstein?

It's a wonder Albert Einstein was able to make so many scientific discoveries in his laboratory, when he spent so much time traveling. From Europe to Asia to America, he certainly racked up the frequent flier miles (or, in his case, frequent boat miles). In the slides ahead, stamp your passport and follow Einstein as he traversed the globe – from sightseeing in Cuba to giving lectures in Japan, and plenty of points in between. Bon voyage!
