Everything was well organized, the hotel accommodations and - in Creel - the cottage, was excellent and the tour director, Manuel, very experienced, a nature lover and history buff (Mexican history).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Here is a 5-minute brief about Mexican history:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mexico is a North American country and reflects a vibrant blend of Spanish and native cultures and rare natural beauty. Since 1994 it has been a member of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with the US and Canada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most prominant cultures - before the arrival of the Spanish Conquistadores in 1519 (Cortez) - were the Maya and the Aztec. Their legacy is reflected not only in the restored historic monuments which bear witness of a high degree of civilization, but also in the faces of an enthusiastic and optimistic nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1821 Mexico achieved independence from Spain, and underwent a revolution under the leadership of Francisco "Pancho" Villa. The new constitution drafted at that time was the most advanced in the world, e.g. abolition of slavery, no death penalty, and much more! The constitution is still in effect now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A little further down I will give you some more details of our trip.&lt;br /&gt;First the train trip with the Chihuahua - Pacifico railway, called CHEPE, CHE for Chihuahua, and P for Pacifico. I took almost all of these pics from the train while travelling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_11RXksc1FlU/SY8-HUrxGgI/AAAAAAAABdk/XksEoiDRkko/s1600-h/DSCI0187+-+Copy.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

A cable car is superficially very similar to a &lt;a title="Funicular" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funicular"&gt;funicular&lt;/a&gt; but differs from such a system in that its cars are not permanently attached to the cable and can stop independently, whereas a funicular has cars that are permanently attached to the propulsion cable, which is itself stopped and started. A cable car cannot climb as steep a grade as a funicular, but many more cars can be operated with a single cable, making it more flexible, and allowing a higher capacity. During the rush hour on San Francisco's Market Street Railway, a car would leave the terminal every 15 seconds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_11RXksc1FlU/SRxQi1eCZnI/AAAAAAAAA9Q/VpxwO_Hly00/s1600-h/DSCI0065.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

Petra came along. After a 6-hour train ride from Ulm, via Augsburg, Nuernberg, Pilsen, we arrived in Prag in the early pm. We checked into our Hotel which was conveniently situated about 1/2 hour from the Charles Bridge and downtown. The beauty of that city is overwhelming! No destruction during WW2!  A true World Heritage in so may ways! I'll try my best to give you an impression by including a good number of photos in my BLOG. Enjoy it - and - comments are welcome!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our Hotel - one of the few modern buildings near downtown Prag - thanks God!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_11RXksc1FlU/SOTd46aGzsI/AAAAAAAAAzA/XryBYJjfbac/s1600-h/DSC_0095.jpg-1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_11RXksc1FlU/SOTd46aGzsI/AAAAAAAAAzA/XryBYJjfbac/s320/DSC_0095.jpg-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252567035242008258" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It does have all the facilities necessary to conduct a congress 52 participating nations&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_11RXksc1FlU/SOdyxmZAESI/AAAAAAAAAzY/Qeun1ZAgkrM/s1600-h/DSC_0144-1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_11RXksc1FlU/SOdyxmZAESI/AAAAAAAAAzY/Qeun1ZAgkrM/s320/DSC_0144-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253293686795538722" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_11RXksc1FlU/SOd0fdj6gdI/AAAAAAAAAzg/Q_TEYzt59h4/s1600-h/DSC_0145-1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_11RXksc1FlU/SOd0fdj6gdI/AAAAAAAAAzg/Q_TEYzt59h4/s320/DSC_0145-1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253295574211002834" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beautiful old buildings, surprisingly well maintained.

Zutaten eine Wurzelsud machen. Die geputzten Gemuese in der Fluessigkeit auskochen (etwa 1/2 Stunde), dann die zerkochten, ausgelaugten Gemuesereste mit einem Schaumloeffel aus dem Sud herausnehmen und wegschmeissen. Abschmecken mit Zucker und Salz.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man hat jetzt eine Fluessigkeit, die man "Wurzelsud" nennt. Das kann man auch am Vortag vorbereiten und wenn's soweit ist aufkochen. Dann die Gemuese fuer die eigentlichen "Blauen Zipfel im Sud", den Essig (Wein) und die Wuerstel hineingeben und etwa 15 min ziehen lassen - NICHT KOCHEN!!! - sonst platzen die Wuerstel, das Gemuese soll garen aber noch etwas Biss haben - "al dente" wie bei Spaghetti!.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die Wuerstel mit dem Gemuese und etwas Sud in einem Suppenteller anrichten. Mit etwas frischem geriebenen Meerettich und Bauernbrot  (hard to come by in the US) servieren.  Voila!  Guten Appetit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uebrigens, der Name blaue Zipfel beruht auf der Tatsache, dass die Wuerstel in dem Wein/Essig Sud etwas blaeuliche  Farbe annehmen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Verfasser:   DER ALTE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8060877179304053688-3484666480512663924?l=floridarentner.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://floridarentner.blogspot.com/feeds/3484666480512663924/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8060877179304053688&amp;postID=3484666480512663924' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8060877179304053688/posts/default/3484666480512663924'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8060877179304053688/posts/default/3484666480512663924'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://floridarentner.blogspot.com/2008/08/bad-winsheim.html' title='Bad Windsheim'/><author><name>Hermann C.
