As you may have noticed most of the blog posts are not posted on the same days that they are written. The below post was actually wiitten on the 10th, but because we don't actually have internet access on the trains we are forced to wait until we get accomodations with wifi before we send them out. I shouldn't matter because most of you probably aren't reading them as tehy come off the press anyway. So don't worry if you don't hear from us (you know who I'm talking to), we are fine and dandy and having a great time. Happy Mother's Day!
Without further adieu...
Guten Tag Everyone!
We are currently on a train (again) bound for Paris…France. Of course it is a beautiful azure blue day; which always seems to be the case when we are travelling, not so much when we are sedentary.
We just spent a wonderfully relaxing 2 days in Konstanz Germany. It’s right on the border of Switzerland, so yesterday we took a stroll, in the rain, to visit our Swiss neighbors. We stumbled upon this huge, old farm which today is mainly used for tourism and as a wildlife management area. We got caught in the rain for a while here, but there was plenty to take in, and not having a set schedule means not being in a hurry.

After touring this little corner of Switzerland, we nonchalantly meandered our way back over the border to Germany. We continued to take in the sights of Konstanz all the while looking for a place that sold pencils for an art project for Liz. Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful at finding a bleistift, but we did find a genuine Swiss chocolatier, which made Liz’s day all the same. After all that trekking, we found an Irish pub to have dinner (conveniently right under where we were staying) and pass the time talking to some foreign locals.

We then awoke this morning to a stupendous complimentary breakfast, made our accommodations for Paris, and went down to the water to feed some birds (which is becoming one of my favorite past-times) before our train departed. Now we are on route, going through some picturesque mountainous countryside. If everything goes according to plan we should be getting in to Paris around 6 o’clock tonight. Where I will send out this blog and begin our tour of gay Paris.
Big Trees!
Bye Germany!
Au revoir pour le moment…A bientot.
