[GSBN] People and places and events in Europe?

[Misha Rauchwerger]

Hey Art,

I suggest you take some time riding through Devon and Cornwall.  Rolling
beautiful hedgerow lined narrow roads with countless little thatched cob
villages, dating back to 12th century,with cob pubs, etc.  Check out Kevin
McCabe (buildsomethingbeautiful.co.uk), Adam Weisman and Katy's place in
Cornwall.  Totnes, the home of "Transition Town" has some progressive stuff
going on, a new cob residence just outside of town, and of course you might
get some tips from Devonearthbuilding.com.

best,
Misha
