JohnMitchell 14 #26 January 24, 2006 And I lost weight in Europe last year! Their food is great ( In England I'll take fish and chips and a pint of Guiness anytime) but on vacation I'm always on the run. Hiking the cobblestones and climbing the cathedral domes really burns the pounds off me. I think I need to stay on vacation for the rest of my life. Sorry about the Sartre quote earlier. I really am a big fan of the The Continent and the British Isles.

I think the amount of beer and wine we consumed at the end of the day had a little to do with us gaining weight too.
