Costanza

Wait, that isn't right.

Lake Constance

That's more like it.

Yesterday, Zach, Steve, Jason, and I went to Konstanz, Germany on the German-Swiss border to see Lake Constance, or Bodensee auf Deutsch.

We missed our original train there but were able to catch one an hour later.  I slept most of the three-hour train ride.  The countryside I was awake to see, though, was very nice.

Our day trip to Konstanz basically involved us walking along the lakefront the majority of the time.  It was nice to chill on the "beach".  There wasn't really a sandy beach area, just a bunch of small rocky beaches.  One beach had numerous rock sculptures where people had stacked stones into pillars.  They were neat, though we all had to fight the urge to knock several of them down.  I also climbed a tree.

  Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

The walk along the lake was nice and relaxing, though it did lead to an odd moment when we, apparently, walked past a section of nude beach.

  Yea...

Other than that, though, the day was a good one.  One high point in particular was my first Slush Puppy since Little League (or at least high school).  Damn, that was delicious.

We've begun thinking of future trips with Paris possibly this weekend, Munich (and Salzburg/Vienna?) the next weekend, Barcelona the first weekend of July, and Berlin/Hamburg the second weekend of July.

So many places, so little time.

Until next time, Alles Gute.
