Fans of Street View may not get a lot of work done today.  Google's seen fit to release images covering three new countries, and pictures documenting some special points of interest within America's borders have become available, as well.

Switzerland, Taiwan, and Portual are the three main attractions (as you probably gathered from this piece's title).  Interesting and even stunning views are available of each, with the image below showing off Grindelwald, Switzerland.

As for the odds and ends, Stephen Chau, a product manager, explained in a post on the LatLong Blog, "We took our Street View cars for spins around two race tracks in California: Thunderhill Raceway Park and Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca."

Chau then continued, "We've also used our Street View Trike, the new bicycle-based system, to gather imagery at San Diego State University and LEGOLAND California.  We've included a little surprise at LEGOLAND, which we hope you will enjoy!"  (That surprise - possible spoiler alert! - may or may not be the Lego Pegman.)

So there's plenty of stuff to keep Street View fans busy.  And since it had been a while since the last time Google released any fresh Street View imagery, this morning's update should prove especially welcome.
