95% of our bike lanes don't even come close to a road. A lot of them are replacing the back alley and go between houses that are back to back. They are very nice here.

Boy, you aren't kidding Germans walk! When we visited my ancestral villages a couple years ago, we were nearly walked to death. LOL I am overweight, and knee problems run in our family, so I have painful, arthritic knees, but not quite to the stage to have them replaced yet. Our German friends took us for a weeks trip around the former E. German area--Meissen, Dresden, Harz mountains, etc. Had 2 or 3 parks they wanted to show us, also, and these were LARGE walking parks. One was Hanza (sp??) Park. They were beautiful, and people walking all over on the footpaths thru the flowers and landscaping. but, I though I wouldn't make it! (they said, "We have a saying here--we walk in our parks, and Americans drive in theirs." referring to our large parks like Yellowstone, etc.) And, there were beautiful, old castles, etc, but the villages were ancient, so the streets were narrow, and they didn't tear things out for parking lots, as we do here, so to visit a castle, you parked down along the river somewhere, and climbed the hill to the castle, then climbed the stairs in the castle! Then back down over the cobblestones to the car (1/4 to 1/2 mile back again) The other couple we visited ther in Germany, a retired couple who had done some genealogy work for me, were even worse (re the walking). They lived in Magdeburg, and didn't own a car, because they walked to their garden outside of town, where there was a field of garden plots for rent. Everyone who wanted to rented a garden spot, and walked out and tended it. And, the wife had diabetes, controled by diet and exercise, and her diabetes Dr. was 7 miles, and they biked there together every 2 weeks for her checkup. He was 72, and she was 68, and they both belonged to an Alps hiking club, and he was the leader. The other members were in their 30's and 40's, and I will guarantee he could out-walk all of them. LOL It was a wonderful and beautiful trip, and the people were great, but by the time I got home, I had to up my knee medication, and try to recuperate! LOL.

No, Dorie, you are completely correct. Europeans love walking tours, Volksmarches, etc. There are lots of walking clubs in Germany. Take a look at the Heidelberg Wandering Club site and click on the walking calendar for Germany. There is also a link to marathons held in Germany. For a nation of about 84 million, there are a prodigious number of scheduled events. Hiking vacations in the SüdTirol are also popular. We're talking mountain-hiking here. And Switzerland has over 32,000 miles of marked walking trails. Yes, I said 32,000! The trails are marked not in kms but in terms of time it takes to get from one point to another. I am currently in training to walk a marathon :-) It is my BIG dream to be able to do one in Germany some day. Events such as these are still considered somewhat elitist here in the U.S. whereas in Europe they are a much more populist sport. A person doesn't have to have any special athletic prowess to do it. Just a regular regimen of walking to build endurance (and some speed) is all that's required as far as training. I participated in the Avon International Women's 5K Run/Walk on May 12 in my state. This is an annual event and only one city in each state gets the privilege of hosting it. There were about 650 women who signed up, but not all showed up on race day. By contrast, the same event held in Berlin a couple of weeks ago drew 5,000+ women! Participants could choose between a 5K or 10K. A friend of mine who did the Dublin Marathon (of which there were (9,000 participants) last year said lots of the locals joined in and walked in shoes you'd never see in a Nike ad. Some of the little old men and women could really hustle...even with cigarettes dangling from their mouths!

I'm really not sure what it's like in the cities in the states but here in Calgary we have tons of walking/biking trails. How ever I believe that because the U.S. and Canada have really gone away from the small neighborhood shops, unlike in Germany, and to the many chain stores, that seem to congregate in one commercial area we've lost a great deal. In my area of the city I don't even have a 7-11 to go to. It takes me ten minutes just to drive to the nearest grocery store and about 20 to get to the nearest mall. What do you all think?

: -) Well, could it be that there was a bit of similarity in the way they went down. OR is it that at the end of the branding day and a few Sask brews later you just need something to fill the stomach? : -) All I know is when everyone went out to brand the calves and make steers they referred to the left over parts as prairie oysters. Now I think it was standard for all the guys to try it at least once.

Dorie: "Doing" for the husband is a European way. On our recent trip over there, we observed this: a perfecly able man of about 60 or so sat each morning at the breakfast table in the hotel while his wife went to the buffet and brought him his entire breakfast, then did hers. It's just the way things many times are over there. Dave Ross

Our son, some years ago in Germany, after having the THIRD slice of Torte placed on his plate (this was in a private home, with friends of ours), turned to us and quietly said, "I guess the secret to not getting any more is to leave just a bit of this slice on the plate ??" We had only dropped in for a quick chat. Max said, "I'll have Louisa make coffee." I said, "no, Max, we can only stay a few minutes" (we were in northern Bavaria and a blizzard was raging outside; we still had a ways to drive that day). Max and I had this friendly tug-of-war for a few more rounds, then this ex-Master Sergeant in Rommel's Afrika Corps pulled himself up to his full impressive height, military lightning snapping from his eyes, and said, firmly, "you WILL have coffee !!" Of course, Max :-))) With it, naturally, came the gorgeous peach Torte !! Despite this "delay" (and we had just come from a huge meal of roast pork, potato dumplins, Sauerkraut -- the whole nine yards, in our favorite hotel there), we made it through the horrendous snow to our son-in-law's parents' place in the Bayerischerwald on schedule !! Max, by the way, had been captured at El Alamein and was 3-1/2 years a POW in this country. In an area of Oberfranken where little English is called for, his English was still quite excellent. His line drawings cum watercolor wash that he did in the prison camp to illustrate his captivity were absolutely excellent. We're certain Max was related to Carol, but we could never figure out just how. Max was a great help to us in our genealogy in that area. He died in 1992, and we miss this dear friend very much.

On our recent trip, we discovered a Great Czech Schnapps, "BERECHOVKA (well, the bottle is upstairs, but that's close !!) -- a snappy liqueur. And, like so much else in the Czech Republik, not expensive. We'll drink it sparingly :-))) Dave

Hi Ralf, I know what you mean. It was the same way when we visited a few years ago. Eat eat and eat some more. The drinking was something else too. One of my aunts was going through the change in life and every time she had a hot flash she would down a 1 litre bottle of wine! We also went to a birthday party for the same family, a family of twelve children, and a couple of my cousins had married American soldiers. The family found it great fun that they could keep up with the rest drinking German beer. Anyway the reason I wrote was because one of my aunts (70 yr) was just here visiting, and we took her out to many nice restaurants. All she ate was salads!

Nope, Dorie, they still walk a lot more than we do, and they realize that we don't do as much. I have leg problems, so I have trouble walking more than a nominal amount. We kid about the fact that anything you want to see in Germany is either up or down from where you are !! On our recent trip, after a LOT of walking, I just ouldn't do the stairs reqauired to see this one "must." One of the Germans in the group, without a second thought, said, "yes, you Americans just don't walk as much as we do," and that was the answer to my problem :-))) And it's true. Except more walking isn't the answer for me. I remember, when we were in Heilbronn in the military (1959-60) our German acquaintances would eat a hearty noon meal on Sunday, then walk out to the village of Lauffen and back. The round trip was 20km -- over 12 miles !! Then a good Abendtisch of sausages, Broetchen, cheeses, jams, jellies, wine/beer, etc. An perhaps a Jaegermeister to chase it all !! Hardy folk then, and a lot of them still are -- they put our physical condition to shame. Dave Ross

Although I can't speak for all Germans, I know that my family walks much more than the average American here does. In fact, they are always astounded at the number and kind of drive-through windows here in the US. On Sunday after church, we had to go spazieren in the country to smell the landluft. The entire family went, regardless of the weather. In America, you hide inside until it is pleasant to venture out. There, you dress accordingly and go. In Tirschenreuth, where I am from, it is easier to walk than drive, especially after a heavy snow. Karin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

My experience with living in Germany during the sixties was that, in some circles, if a man was thin, his wife was blamed for not feeding him properly. The death rate from obesity was quite high. Not so much today. When I went on my occasional diet over there to reduce the blubber from eating all that rich food, my motherinlaw would ask my wife why she was allowing me to do that, I looked sickly.

Dave: I don't know whether you can make "Jaegermeister" at home, but I do know that the Germans i have come to know in Germany, all make their own schnapps from the trees they have in their gardens. My father in law, when he died in 1994, had about 75 bottles in his keller made from Mirabellen and Zwetschen. Our close fiends over there always give us a litre to bring back to Canada every year. A shot now and then is sure good for what ails you. I go along with the old German lied that says, "Schnapps is gut fuer die Cholera". Hey Chris, when I took my training out in Regina, we always thought Prarie Oysters were a raw eggs at the bottom of a glass of beer. A that good old Saskachewan beer back then. I needed something to perk it up. Ralf > > >> Mark: Jägermeister is a liqueur, very strong, like hyper-gin. It's a >> "Schnapps" and a great after-dinner shot !!
