Beautiful neighborhood, Roger (yes, this is a Dirndl)!

Glad you like the prize, Anita! I would like to have a Dirndl (a pink one...), but it would be very odd to wear it at the Baltic Sea. In Bavaria it is fine at every age and at every time. Well, despite that I don't drink alcohol, thus no beer, I am addicted to the sea, and at all prefer to vacationate abroad (at the sea).

Shameless plug: My personal Oktoberfest is "Kieler Woche", the greatest sailing event in the world and the largest summer festival in northern Europe at the most wonderful time of the year, end of June, when night won't fall before ~11.30 PM: http://www.kieler-woche.de/english/events/index.php

Eva E.,

You are addicted to the sea? Same as me!

In fact, the older I get the more I am thinking about returning to my roots in the Midwest, where my family is. But that means I would have to give up my proximity to the Pacific Ocean. Since the age of about 11 I have never lived more than 15-20 minutes from the beach. I just can't bring myself to do it....yet!
