a beautiful day with a beautiful girl.

yesterday ingrid finally arrived. although not on time. apparently the plane from minneapolis had some issues. so she missed her flight from amsterdam to frankfurt. i never knew it would be stressful to wait like that. but trying to figure out if she was on the plane, or a different plane coming to a different gate. ahh. glad thats over. eventually she made it, 4 hours late. lucky we made the last train of the day to konstanz and after 4 hours of trains got here at 1:30 ish.
today was amazing out. so warm and sunny. ingrid had jet lag so i went biking while she slept, worked out quite nicely. i found a nice hour and a quater long loop.
after biking we went down to the old city which is all shopping and touristy. it was quite nice down there too. i bought a big down, very comfortable pillow for 5€ (the pillow i got with the room sucks). i also found a pair of birkenstocks for 29€ and i was planning on buying some of those while here so i got that out of the way.

a big chocolate rabit.
shadows by the lake.

after sitting down by the lake for a while and going to the grocery store we cooked some dinner, potatoes, pork, and brocolli. all of which were good, except the pork which was exceptional. and the after dinner chocolate was quite good too. and that was the day.



Ingrids Abroad:
Well I guess you could say my horrible plane ride here was all worth it after today. The sky was amazingly blue, not a cloud in the sky. The weather was wonderful, shorts of course althought I found out today Germans prob. dont wear shorts till it gets alittle warmer, they could tell im not from here haha. But for me, it was warm enough. My frist train ride was very nice as well, it made me wonder if people in Germany ever sleep because we were on the train till 2 a.m and there were still people just riding it. Mostly kids, i was very suprised. Well hopefully another nice day tomorrow! Untill then...

Giant Swan...(check out those feet!)

it looks like the swan was just using the fire hydrant for a pit stop, seems those Germans can train animals very well, wonder if it had to pay

Yo Jake,

Because of Chinese censors I can only load your blog through a translator....meaning I have to translate the english to some other language in google, and then the censors can't block it. It's a bummer I can't read it...but I hope your rocking Deutschland.
