Mother and daughter enjoy a final beautiful day outside in Munich - 

then it's home at the hotel to pack for the flight home.  

There have been so many fascinating facets to our journey - not the least of which is a wealth of information on simple & easy ways to be more conscious about fighting cancer.  

Gleanings about Green Tea for instance:

"Green Tea Blocks Tissue Invasion and Angiogenesis:

Green tea, for example, which grows in particularly humid climates, contains numerous polyphenols called catechins.  One of these, epigallocatechin gallate or EGCG, is one the most powerful nutritional molecules against the formation of new blood vessels by cancerous cells.  After two or three cups of green tea, EGCG is plentiful in the blood.  It spreads throughout the body by means of capillary vessels.  They surround and feed every cell in the body.  EGCG settles on the surface of each cell and blocks the switches (the "receptors") whose function is to set off the signal that allows the penetration of neighboring tissue by foreign cells, such as cancer cells. EGCG is also capable of blocking receptors that issue commands for the creation of new vessels. Once the receptors are blocked by EGCG molecules, they no longer respond to the orders that cancer cells send through inflammation factors to invade tissue and to make the new vessels needed for tumor growth.

Green tea also acts as a detoxifer for the body.  It activates mechanisms in the liver that can then eliminate cancerous toxins from the body more rapidly.  In mice, it has been shown to block the effects of chemical carcinogens responsible for breast, lung, esophageal, stomach, and colon cancer."
