Wow, I did not know that Wetzlar is so nice, I only know it from the Autobahn sign. Ahhh, and a HUGE HUG for the Leica tip, I will definitely go and have a look - ha and maybe return with a camera :-)) Thanks Wal :-))))))))

I lived in Wetzlar for a few months during my military service. Really a nice town and well worth a visit. BTW we have a VT-Glühwein-meeting next week in Karlsruhe. Don't you feel like coming over and joining us? :-)

Your Braunfels is much nicer than our 'new' (little) Braunfels. Love the old parts and Leica's, I haven't heard of in ages but u sure can get a good deal there.
