Your ability to speak English is that of a native speaker. Whenever I return to Mainz I'm looking forword to book you as our guide again. Uli (Art Pursuits Abroad, part of Arena Travel)

Martin Luther is NOT the same historical figure as MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. Germany is not the same nation as the US. Martin Luther was the great GERMAN reformer of the 1500s. Martin Luther King Jr. was the great civil rights American reformer of the 1960s. I keep trying to help this organization, but they don't seem to worry about trivia like historical facts.
