Ah, Düsseldorf! Being a capitalist I don't need to fear any provincial snobbery. Anyway, the friend who invited me over for the weekend showed me some real nice locations. I remember I bought a Happy Families card game (the Great European Explorers) on the flea market there that Sunday morning. OK, maybe it was an indoor antique market were you could have a late breakfast. Anyway, we used to play with almost the same cards (the Great Classical Composers) with my cousins and cousin in their house. They used to belong to my mother and her sisters. My sister's got them now. For nostalgic reasons. And I discovered in Düsseldorf that Columbus and the rest of his party made happy families too. Francis, do you happen to have Vasco da Gama?
