With your permission, I'd like to abuse this thread for a round: A friend in America (non-A2K) asked me to identify the following church (obviously Bavarian or Austrian), but I'm stuck. Does any of you know this?

Yes, it is, Dutchy, and the hallmark of a wonderful and simple philosopher.

Hint:

When he was dying, his aunt came to him and said, "Have you made your peace with God?" To which he replied, " Why, Auntie. I didn't know that we had quarreled" Love that!

Letty I traced that quote to a guy called Henry David Thoreau who died in Concord Massachusetts. Is that where the water is?

Yes, you clever Dutchman. See what I mean by simplicity? Now, can you name that distinctive body of water?

That's it, Dutchy.

Famous quote:

Henry David Thoreau ("Where I Lived and What I Lived For" Walden)
Our life is frittered away by detail... Simplify, simplify, simplify! ... Simplicity of life and elevation of purpose.

Of course, Dutchy. Although I may have to eat and do other things, there are others that will search and seek.
