Here I am in Konstanz (germany)! :) The flight over was really good – very smooth and barely any turbulence at all. I had an hour stopover in Frankfurt and the five minutes outside was BEAUTIFUL --- 15 degrees! I met another girl on the short (1/2 hr) flight to Zurich – she is going to be an au pair in Switzerland. That was cool. My first “new friend” :).
Michelle met me in Zurich and we took the train here to Konstanz. It’s BEAUTIFUL. So quaint, lots of little houses and shops. It’s so nice and mild here – about 10 degrees – and the flowers are coming up!
Today we hopped on a ferry and crossed Lake Konstanz to go to Meersburg (Maresburg), which is a picturesque little town on the other side of the lake. There’s a REAL medieval castle and we paid eu 5.5 to wander around it for about an hour. It was incredible! I took lots and lots of pictures (coming ASAP) and the view from the castle was surreal!
After the castle we walked around the town a bit longer and hopped on the ferry back. The muffins are delicious :) … more like little mini cakes than the muffins we have at home. We wandered around Konstanz a bit after that – in the Altstadt “old city”. We picked up a few groceries and just finished dinner. Mmmm food :).
Tonight we’re meeting Michelle’s irish friend Sorcha (pronounced Circa, which is Irish for Sarah) and having cocktails. I will be in touch soon!
Xoxo

Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile. -- Mother Teresa
Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it. --Unknown
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!”
Jack Kerouac
"Take wrong turns. Talk to strangers. Open unmarked doors. And if you see a group of people in a field, go find out what they're doing. Do things without always knowing how they'll turn out. You're curious and smart and bored, and all you see is the choice between working hard and slacking off. There are so many adventures you miss because you're waiting to think of a plan. To find them, look for tiny interesting choices. And remember that you are always making up the future as you go." - http://xkcd.com/267/

something i love ...
my favourite part about eating spaghetti at home is dipping that little bit of leftover noodles into that little bit of leftover sauce - and eating it with my fingers!
