...I spent a summer in '81 backpacking around Europe on $10 per day...spent almost 6 months being a bum...had a terrific time. Got to a Portugal beach town in the summer and noticed all of the 'zimmer frei' signs. Asked around and it seems that the Germans invaded (sorry) Portugal every summer. On the beach were Germans of every shape and size, but the men in the 50-plus range all wore the tiniest bathing suits. One guy in particular I will never forget. He had the smallest suit, the biggest stomach, and the largest (how do I say this politely?) ahem, 'pair' I have ever seen. He was probably proud...I will never forget that.
