Konstanz

Konstanz is about as far away as Baden Baden was, maybe a little closer. So we met at the train station in Horb around 9:00am. We had a different Führer this week, still a girl in high school. We got to Konstanz, which was a little grey. It's supposed to be absolutely stunning in the spring and summertime.
We saw the lake, which reminded me a little of Lake Michigan. Except we don't have one of these...

(it spins in a slow circle, just fyi)

The water looked pretty cold, but it was full of these duck-like birds,

In similar Baden Baden style, we followed our tour-guide in a large circle, seeing some pretty things along the way.

(Brian spittin' some game at the Australian flight attendant)

It was a relatively large city, with some really beautiful architecture. We had a little more free time on this trip, which was nice. In the end some of us grabbed coffee and just sat by the lake. All in all a very relaxing trip.

A couple more photos:

(Seekuh means Manatee in German!!)

(I would like to live in this house, at the edge of a pier.)

(I was looking at this building, and I saw pretty face, 
pretty face, Mongolian? [I blew the faces up so you could see])

I like the statue of the lady but can't tell what she is holding. Perhaps we can get one for the cottage at Lake Michigan! I agree, I would like to live in that house on the pier. Finally, I can't believe you found a manatee in Germany!! It was meant to be! We miss you.

Hello buddy! Thanks for sharing your trip, I'm really enjoying following along. Maybe we'll have to go together one day and you can show me around? :) Love you!
