Yeah, Mike; recalling your Oktoberfest discussion about four years ago. As I mentioned then, I've traveled in Germany a couple times and one thing I really liked was a short cruise(only about three hours total)on the Rhine.

As for my ability in German, although I had to take a course in "Chemical German"(that was actually the name of the course)in undergrad for my B.S., about all I remember now is "ja", "nein" and "oxygengenerator", so I wouldn't be much help.
