Dear Gabriele and list
I wonder if someone could translate the article it seems to have touched so many readers. I speak German but as I spoke it before I learnt to read I cannot read German. I would be grateful if someone did have the time and inclination to translate it.
Warm regards
Ethel

The photo is old, the road in an incredible state (probably a parallell to the past) which has hardly improved, maybe something will be done soon.
