Today - day three - is the last full day in Konstanz before Michelle and I start our adventure. Tomorrow morning we head out to Lausanne (Switzerland) and then Saturday we make our way up to Belgium. Next week we'll be in France and then next weekend we'll head to Spain! Woo!!!
Pictures are on their way to my flickr page. They are uploading as I write this!! Michelle is currently packing for our trek ... I haven't taken on that daunting task with my own stuff yet ...
Konstanz is fantastic and so beautiful! It's a typical quaint little European town with beautiful architecture, tons of little shops, and delicious bakeries and coffee shops.
The transit system here is far superior to anything we have in Canada. The buses are always on time and extremely efficient, the trains are cheap, quick, and reliable.
And the CHEESE!!! We bought Brie at the grocery store for just .65 euro cents yesterday!!! You can buy booze in the grocery store -- lots and lots of booze -- see my facebook album 1 and facebook album 2 for pics :)
Yesterday we went to Meersburg, as I talked about in my last post. The pics of the castle that are going up on flickr over the next little while are from there!!! Check them out :D
Well I should go be productive and get ready for our adventure tomorrow!!! I'll be in touch, perhaps from the Louvre ;)

Quoted ...
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!
