it's been cloudy and the past few days, a little rain yesterday, so we've been here in freiburg. it was about 45degrees f last night. really chilly in the evenings, mid to hi 60's during the day. today it's going to start to warm up..low 70's today into mid 80's by sunday.so today we are going to the lake of konstanz. only about 2hrs away, the ancestral home of gisi's parents, and a vacation destination. it borders on switzerland on the south. should be nice. gonna stay overnite and take in the sights and sounds.
i wanted to get to berlin but the rail ticket was like $300 + hotel, etc....so, no go. it would've been nice to be there when obama was in town. but we did book all our hotels for our trip to beaune, avignon, cannes- nice, reggio emilia, venice, bolzano in the alps, and ulm germany ...for under 800€! + gas and tolls, food...good deal...we will be leaving next wednesday and will spend about 12 days on the road. we'll be driving, no more than 4 hours between destinations. that will be the last trip. i wanted to get to austria and or czech republic, but it doesn't work out financially...next time.
i've posted additional pictures in a few albums, if you click on the slide show, you will be directed to the page. i put together a album of favorites from the trip to date.
i met a nice guy in a meeting the other night, he used to live in nyack but is back here, his home, to care for his mother. he was telling me about trying to get rid of his mothers furniture and possesions. apparently you can't even give this stuff away. the people here do not take well to used items. he said it would be a find, and cost good money if he was in the states. so if you want to start an antique shop, i think i found a good source of inventory!
be back on thursday evening with new photos...adieu!
