of music shared…..next morning early rise, looking out at the narrow streets where people were setting up flea market booths with great varieties of offerings…ladies setting up tables and displays on the narrow street…on the bus now leaving town…notice a young lady cleaning out brush along the highway side. not an immigrant laborer, but a person just like the ones on the streets earlier, no color based laborer/barriers….reminded me of Canada, where i grew up. equality. people are people. Countries need leaders who know that. people belong together, not separated into races….no supremacy of one over the other…….when i was in school in Canada, a new boy came to class. His name was Alton White. He was a black skinned boy. We welcomed him just like any other boy or girl. I was ten. I love Canada.

i love the USA. Don’t try to lock me out. I am like you, or not like you…….
Simple breakfast from wonderful D….Heading North now…..four – lane towards the Alps. through German fields of green, Turbines turning, traffic moving well in the peaceful country. Rows of planted trees, an orchard? no….not fruit trees…too organized for me….seeds falling from the sky……a natural forest now passes…..beauty of the way i like. Now more tremendous beauty out the window in the valley far below, colorful fields like patches in a quilt
into the hills, forested hills, headin north steadily…climbing through the forested hills…power towers electrical lines….Mainz ahead….
later…..heading north past hundreds of Wind turbines, more than i have ever seen anywhere…..serious capture of earth energy…in Germany ….with no pollution……USA needs leadership….going the wrong way…….come back again….how can a COUNTRY BE SO BLIND TO TRUTH?…I love the USA….…but it is beautiful here……Graz ahead….stop soon for workout. 45 min driver break….exercise…….soft mountains ahead on left….trees on right…….3 lane……..even traffic…..
