...Lausanne is a hilly town and the harbor, called Ouchy, lies at its foot. On sunny days locals flock here to stroll along the lake the Swiss know as Lac Léman. From here a 20-minute walk takes you to Vidy, a vast park with a smaller harbor. These shores bear vestiges of Roman presence dating back to 4500 B.C., with well-preserved ruins scattered along lakeside paths...

Walking tours, which snake through nearly every borough and neighborhood, have long been popular in England. But with Britain's rail system beset with problems and grueling traffic tie-ups almost the norm, their appeal has grown.

And Israeli opposition leader (now Prime Minister) Ariel Sharon's unwelcome stroll last September around the two Islamic shrines that now occupy the Temple platform--a provocation that may have sparked the Holy Land's current strife when Muslims responded by throwing rocks down on Jews at prayer below--has no precise 1st century cognate. Still, the intertwined dynamic of military occupation and religious clash is shockingly familiar...
