Am Bodensee

Yesterday, like the rest of my time spent here in Germany, was spent for the most part on my bicycle. An easy 60 minute cruise in the morning to loosen up, which was really quite nice. Then a good lunch, followed by 6 x 5km of steep climbs. I would have needed another two hours of daylight and a different bike seat to get all 10 in. Plus, 30 km of steep was all I really needed. Due to the wet streets, it got very cold as the sun went down...

Light up booties saved me again...

Today I traveled south, into a nice headwind, down to Konstanz, where I met Leo and Vera (the people I am staying with). We had a nice time walking around the city. It was really nice to be back, and the weather was really really nice, 55 F or so. The air was clear to, so you could see the Alps in the distance.

This lamp costs 2,248 Euros...
So warm there is a palm tree!

Tomorrow I take the train back to Konstanz, possibly ride to the Alps, then stay my last night in Germany at a friends house from the bike team.
