Featured vacation location: Vail In 1874, miners looking to get-rich-quick came to the Vail area after the news spread that the area was rich in gold and silver. Once dependent on mining this area is now a renowned for excellent skiing, although it is a four season destination with plenty of outdoor activities available in the summer months too. Vail itself is a quaint Bavarian-style traffic-free village. Everywhere you go, you'll find chic cafés, coffee shops, art galleries, and of course scenic views of the surrounding mountains and highlands.

About Austria The Danube runs across the north of the country, from Passau through Linz and Vienna and out towards Bratislava. The rest of the country is very mountainous, especially in the south and west. Of Austria's numerous lakes, two of them form borders with her neighbours. In the west, Lake Constance, or Bodensee, is shared with Germany and Switzerland , while the Neusiedlersee, south-east of Vienna, adjoins Hungary in the east. Austria's Bodensee town is Bregenz, in Voralberg, and the region is popular with cyclists in the summer; crossing between Germany and Switzerland. There's also some cycle activity around the Neusiedlersee -- Fert, in Hungarian. The area makes a great escape from the capital in the summer, and it's also a bird sanctuary.

This Belgium Village may be the Perfect Flemish Travel Hub | Main | Assisi - In the Footsteps of St. Francis - Walks to Sacred Places » March 08, 2004 Your European Vacation - Want Healthy Coffee with that Tramp Steamer? What's good about Europe? Those wonderful health institutes for leisurely living called bars, that's what. You can sit outdoors at a Parisian one, sipping some vin rouge and watch the world go by as your arteries unclog themselves of all the cream sauces you've consumed the night before, thanks to the "French paradox." Or you can pop into an Italian one for that healthy dosage of strong coffee known to Americans as "espresso" but to Italians as just coffee. I don't use the word "healthy" lightly. According to a Dr. Trombetti of the Humanitas Gavazzeni Institute, who hates the stuff, "Coffee contains tannin and antioxidants, which are good for the heart and arteries." Not only that, but a few cups a day can help prevent cirrhosis and gallstones. There's even more . Doncha just love it when research actually links healthiness with your baser desires? And speaking of leisure, do you know that tramp steamers are not an artifact of the wild 70s, but that it's still possible to take a leisurely jaunt on a steamer to cross the pond? Sure, most people wanna see Europe in 9 days or fewer, but maybe some of you have the time to fritter on a freighter .
