This cyber-wizard at large in Germany

This cyber-wizard at large in Europe: Germany

Germans are said to have 54 holidays each year. This can only be an estimate, because each little town (Dorf) has its own anniversary celebration (Kirchewei), and roving beer-hall parties (Fest) land randomly throughout the country. People from other Dorfs are often found at these Kircheweis.
The locals need no reasons to congregate and drink large volumes (as if there were any other size) of beer -- any excuse will do, and generally does. Besides talking, the locals are very good at walking. In fact, they even have coordinated walking events (Volksmarch).

A Quick Run Through Germany

A nice, quiet park. This particular one runs alongside a canal.

Okay. Maybe this isn't Germany's "cash crop," but it sure is one of her most popular!

A very good rule for the road: if you're driving, and there are no head-lights in the mirror, good. If head-lights appear in your mirror, scoot over -- you'll be passed within two seconds!

A town is a town, after the church is built. Then, the market-place. Usually, the market-place is a square in front of the church.

An obligatory "mug" shot.

One of many stores in [another] historic area.

This tower overlooks the fountain (below).

Drinking the water may not be a good idea, but "drinking" the view is spectacular. Many locals and tourists enjoy both the bench and the statues.

They just don't build things to last, the way they used to.

Winning the World Cup is a really big event!

In the more urban areas, narrow houses, such as this one, are ever-present. The larger cities are missing the character of these. Instead, you'll find mass-housing in cold concrete.
