Dear Doug, I really enjoyed your pictures. You did very well keeping those lines from converging. I was surprised at the few people on some pictures as I was there in June this year for the wedding of my niece. Then I read the temperature. I love all the Hanseatic League locations with my favorite being Bergen, Norway. My major reason for not moving there tomorrow is the lack of mountains. Not a one in hundreds of kms. I guess I will stay in Korea, we have more than enough!! I plan to start sharing some with the list soon.

Germany's leading political columunist Heribert Prantl) and the secretary of state of Bremen's parliament in a adio chat with our old friend Theo Schlüter - with breaks filled very rofessionally by the local amateur barbershop group "Fishermans Fresh" who are actually more of a madrigal choir) http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DMS/Germany/Bremen/_MG_0656.jpg.html Bremen is a great place, you can sit around, have a hot Grog and chat ith senators (that's what they call ministers in the city states of remen, and Hamburg) and there's never a shifty-looking security bloke o be seen. Hamburg and Lübeck are similar, must be something to do with their anseatic heritage. Sunday was also the first time I've ever had aperture blades sticking nd Canon electronics refusing to work because of the cold.
