And London Plane Trees. It's got to have London Plane Trees. On the crest of the grassy knoll that stretches down to the pond.

Nicely painted fences? Check.

As far as the eyes can see? Not unless you're severely myopic.

Garden around the house with stone walkways with moss? Check (that's actually sort of creepy -- have you been stalking my house!?).

London Plane Trees? Pond?

(And if I were going to talk euphemistically, I'd have different ideas.)

Plane trees, yes. Pond, no. But river, yes!!

If you need trees, I happen to know a guy...

(Sorry I hit edit instead of quote above, but now it is fixed)

Short answer: Yes.

Longer answer: Like wifi in the US, I found many of the networks out in public in Europe to be hit or miss. I paid for one month's worth of additional international data so that I could also use 3G. I was there for a week and used not quite all of the $24.99 monthly int'l data plan (they base it off of actual usage, so there are differing plans based on how much data you plan to transfer). This plan only kicks in if you are using 3G or other AT&T service; wifi use is free.

Not europe, but on other international travel I used the wi-fi constantly. If you are in a hotel/conference center with wi-fi that you have to log into with a password you may want to ask for two logins. When I would switch from iPhone to computer I had to re-login and that was the only negative. It was hard to type in that 8 digit password on my iPhone without spilling my drink or setting down my book. A hardship I hope you can avoid.

I've only seen what you can see through a window at night with night vision goggles.

Plane trees!? Really!?

I am creepy.

I really didn't think I could pick out the kind of tree just from those grainy surveilance photos.
