Mr. Bill! I have discovered this site, thanks to Suzanne, and find your comments about flora and fauna once again! ( no big surprise)

Beautiful and colorful Hungarian Gate!
1 year agoNice picture of the Egret and reeds. :) I call Egrets "747's" because of their long wingspan. :)
1 year agoI love rail trails - peaceful, no cars, pretty scenery - can't ask for more! :)
1 year agoI love visiting churches when I am overseas - they are beautiful! Much more than ones here in the U.S.!
1 year agoIn writing up some pages for our as yet invisible upcoming blog, I was consulting with a German friend on how best to say "We're off!" or "Let's go!" or "Here we go!". It turns out to be not so simple. My friend said that the Google Translate version of "here we go" came off slightly sarcastic, while his preferred version: "Jetzt geht's los" can be a chant at football games, or occurs in anthem-like songs, like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfXq6dmtsok
So even my untrained ear, at 2:13 of Jano's video #1, picked him up saying "es gehts los". I was kind of proud of myself and appreciated this bit of Janos training. With luck I might even be able to order a bratwurst (mit pommes, und senf!) when we hit Frankfurt!
Janos says big thanks! He has a Go Pro 7 Black, which he loves, mounted on his handlebars and for hand held stuff he uses an Insta 360 G2, a tiny and amazing action cam.
2 years agoMany thanks from Janos! Yes, he is a great story-teller and I guess always was. When he was in elementary school and one of the younger grades needed someone to fill in for a teacher, they took Janos out of his class and had him tell the younger kids stories.
Maybe you even learned some more German watching the videos!
Absolutely brilliant! I think Janos is a natural actor and cinematographer. Also his way of speaking is so clear and gentle I bet he could teach even me German in a few months.
2 years agoI love the videos! What kind of camera does Janos use? Is it a GoPro?
2 years agoGlad the mini tour went well!
2 years agoGreat setup for your camera! I look forward to seeing the video!
2 years agoI think you will really like the countryside here. Looking forward to seeing your route in more detail.
2 years agoWhat a wonderfully quirky inn! Sure, Germany has a multitude of attractions, but I'd be willing to tour there just to stay at the Magicians Cabinet.
I enjoyed the rest of your tour too, of course, and I'm glad you could do it after your bout with Covid.
Agreed!
