Subject: [Leica] Not buying a Hummer

We are will be in Europe from August to November.  We plan to use local 
public transportation and do allot of walking.  We did this in '04 and saved 
transportation costs reasonably well.  We will also be traveling with our 
exchange families, but will be paying our way with them.  It will still not 
be cheap, but I hope less expensive than renting a car.
