I also want to say thanks to Mark for sharing his Germany vacation photos. My wife and I have viewed two pages and many of the pictures were a walk down memory lane for us because we have visited many of the same places during our stay in Germany and then again on vacation there in 1996. I was stationed in Frankfurt for 3 years while in the Army. We really enjoyed living and traveling in Germany,and many other neighboring countries but unlike you Mark, when my 3 years were up I was ready to come home because I lived in Military quarters and the only place to work on projects was in the hobby and craft shops that the military provided. They were great because they furnished the tools and training if you didn't have it but the only problem was that it put you and your projects on their schedule so coming home gave lots more freedom to do some of the things I loved to do. I also agree with your method of planning your trip to Germany. We took one bus tour while in Germany and ended up seperated on the bus and then the tour guide got us lost and at one rest stop after warning everyone to be back on the bus on time She was the one that was late which threw the whole tour behind schedule. After that we planned our own trips and drove our old Checy van all over western Europe, even to Berlin - while there was still an East Germany and Berlin was a divided city. Thanks again Mark

What a beautiful place and how fortunate that you where able to share this with your family and to extend that to your KR family. Thank you very much. I hope that in this new year that more KR members will share pictures of more of the custom work and solutions they come up with in their KR ventures. As the saying goes. pictures are worth a thousand words.
