So a fast overview. I have been with three different families so far (now being my third). I have been in lots of nice little villages, I've been in Berlin visiting my great great cousin, In Dresden, the Baroque city that that was made into a giant fireball, including the beautiful old historical section. ( Bómbing non-industrial areas is very wonderful) Thankfully much has been restored and it's very beautiful. Leipzig I have also been in, in fact I was able to take in a bit of Bachfest 2007 where I heard a beautiful choir in a wonderful old church where Bach had been in and played one of the organs, and an open air orchestra! To get from where I was in Mecklenburg to where I am now , I hitchhiked most of the way with three different rides! ( over 200 k ) . Right now I am in a nice farmhouse with a timber frame, and buildings which are all arranged that there is a courtyard in the centre and a gate to enter in by car through the 'Turhaus'. The small farm is situated in the little village which has 2 pubs and one small store. Scenery wise, it's wonderful, little villages hear and there, green rolling hills, church spires, and in a couple places along the roads (which are mostly narrower than in Canada) are cherry trees which I have been up!! I think being a Canadian, the differences here are very quaint, scenic, and attractive, such as how things are closer together (like the sides of the roads). My impression is that Germans would love to go to places like the Rocky Mountains, and see beautiful big, open, wild areas. The grass is always greener on the other side isn't it, but only because we've gotten used to the colour of our own grass.
