Hesse, sweet Hesse

[hmpf]

Where else, except perhaps in the American West, can you find towns and villages as appealingly named:

- "Friedlos" = "Peaceless"
- "Lieblos" = "Loveless"
- "Sterbfritz" = "Die, Fritz!"

There's also "Romrod", which contains an amusing palindrome for Tolkien fans, and kind of confirms my long-held suspicion that my home country is the source of all evil.

Then again, there are places like

- "Sechshelden" - "Six Heroes"
- "Sinn" - "Sense"

And, of course, the inimitable

- "Wolfgang" (nicely complemented, at the other end of Germany, by Lower Saxonia's "Achim")



(I'm buying a train ticket to get to this weekend's To Be Frelling CONtinued.)

Ich finde ja auch die Dörferansammlung rund um Bad Camberg ganz apart:
Brechen
Würges
Niederbrechen

Oh, und bei Bremen bin ich mal durch Ehebrok gefahren. Auch ganz nett.

Das kannst Du dann mal übersetzen, wenn Du magst. *g*

Ja, die sind auch nicht schlecht.

Stimmt, da oben im Norden gibt's auch neckische Namen. "Nutteln" ist auch hübsch.

TBFC! I MISS IT! Have loads of fun and I'll be jealous from over here :)

We missed you, too!

Seriously, you were mentioned and fondly remembered, and people wondered why you hadn't been there for so long.

And, hey - you're MARRIED now, aren't you???!!! All grown up and all that.... *g* Congrats!
