Farin 2 Report post Posted May 14, 2006 Yeah farin, our ideas of rural are very different... when I go rural, I'm fishin, looking at cattle and holding my nose as we pass the hog farms...

I thought more along the lines of isolation. Mecklenburg is the least populated part of Germany, but e.g. there's no way to drive 5 to 10 minutes without coming to some small village or other. When I think of rural America I imagine driving for almost days without meeting anyone... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Full of tourists, bicycles, motorcycles and classic cars cruising around. People with cameras everywhere. Course there's a restaurant, or bar alternating with the homes on display and antique shops.

Then after a year or so, I started questioning some of that doctrine. So then I decided to investigate a ..... (What? .... oh ... ) Nevermind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
