  1. is writing for a few more days before leaving Bavaria and taking a long and winding road to Paris.
  2. is near Landau an der Isar, Germany and is writing my 175,000th word in my second book. The few thousand are at http://francistapon.com/ee
  3. just posted a new podcast on Slovakia and a travel update. http://bit.ly/cGnxv
  4. is hitchhiking to the Czech Republic. It's surprisingly easy to hitch in Germany and Austria!
  5. is finally fixing my webpage so that most browsers can see it. If you could not see it before, try now http://francistapon.com
  6. is exploring the European Cultural Capital of 2009: Linz, Austria.
  7. is going to the birthplace of Adolph Hitler: Linz, Austria
  8. is heading to Austria for a few days of backpacking in the rain.
  9. is learning that there is an Underwater Hockey World Championship. Weird! Weirder: Moldova entered just so its players could become refuges.
  10. is in Bavaria writing the 160,000th word in his second book . That's twice the length of my first book. I don't want a 700 page tome!
  11. is single-handedly building a trail in Germany. Lots of work, but fun!
  12. is surfing http://flycheapo.com, which monitors the fares of dozens of budget airlines. Also, I've written 150,000 words in my 2nd book.
  13. is removing and installing tiles on a roof in Germany.
  14. is arriving in Pilsting, Germany, near Munich, and will have no consistent Internet for a few weeks. Good bye cruel world! ;-)
  15. is celebrating a friend's birthday. He lives near Munich, Germany. I will stay with him for weeks, disconnected from the Net.
  16. is done climbing a 1,867 mt in Austria, swimming in a German pond, and is now having a BBQ in Ruckholz, Germany.
  17. is hiking a big mountain in Lichtenstein as my farewell to this interesting country!
  18. is having another full day of travel, having been to Austria twice, Switzerland once, and Lichtenstein four times.
  19. is checking Lichtenstein off the list of European countries I have yet to see. Only two remain: Andorra and Iceland.
  20. is biking across Lichtenstein...TWICE! (It's the 4th smallest country in Europe, so it's only a 50km bike ride.)
