I noticed you counting your remaining money after you had to pay for that taxi, Phil ... Jean was so very happy to see her husband's money after all those years.

Hi Everyone,

our offer is still on, of course (even if I feel a bit blown away by Beatriz's beautiful photos). Our advantage is a professional walking trainer and I can assure you, Hungary also can offer a lot of nice walking paths (including flat ones :D). We have no sea but the panorama of the Danube Bend is just as wonderful.
The organizers would be Szilvia (Gallina) and me.

Eva

(But I'm sure Spain, Holland or any other country would be very nice to visit, I hope I can be there, in any case)

You did such a great job with the photos and songs and your arrangements of them, Wijbe. I enjoyed so much watching this.

While contemplating whether to step in and solve the soveriegn debt crisis by helping the euro zone out with a loan Jean began smiling at the pre decimalisation pound notes I still have in my pocket !

Why would my lovely wife want a cream cake when she lives with a fruitcake

Ken with his Special Award

We have enjoyed the great photos posted by so many of you, and Wijbe’s brilliant picture show.

Now our own photos are – finally – sorted, and we have uploaded a selection to this Gallery:
http://cohen.1g.fi/kuvat/The+Haiger+Wal ... kend+2011/
There are also two photos from Andrea, and Wijbe’s group photo.

All photos are available in several sizes – from the thumbnail up to the original camera size. Also as a dia show.

Looking forward to another Walking Weekend in the future!!

Hugs from
Eija & Jarkko

...a big thank you to our superb photographers, diane, eija, wijbe maarten and everybody else who has contributed to the wonderful gallery of photos.....as always on a cohen meetup once i see the professionals busy with their cameras i don't bother taking my camera out of it's case as i know all their photos will be available online when we all arrive home...although i did manage to take a handful they are not really worth bothering with....so once again a big thank you to all concerned......

....and of course a big thank you to henning who has up until the gig last night has been guarding over my dylan concert tickets.....now i can put the beautiful framed photo back in the front window to scare off any potential burglars....ta ken

Thnx Jarkko and Eija and all of you who took the photos - they are fabulous and in full sentimentality I will look them up again during christmas time.

J - that photo with Ken and his prize is priceless. I have never seen a happier face in my life.

Althouh he pretends to use the prize for various purposes I am sure it remains in dignity on his nighttable and is the last thing his eyes catch before the night owl takes him away.

Wonderful.
