Aaronsmom Posted August 20, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted August 20, 2013 One postscript: I made a typo in the header and I see no option for correction. The name should be Blumenweg, not Blugenweg. It's a hiking trail in the Swiss Alps that means "Flower Way" in German. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
