Surf and turf...

Before I start I must say that Mike and I are a great team! I write the day's recap, and he posts to photos when he has a moment. His photos are wonderful (he IS a professional), and I'm so thankful to have him as a teammate! (Mike, please insert a photo of yourself--preferably with your camera--here.)

Our Texan feet touched three countries today! After breakfast this morning (in Bregenz, Austria of course) we headed out to Switzerland to meet up with Dee (from Cali) and her brood. We had a quick cappucino at the gas station (really), then off to Konstanz, Germany to the See (aka Sea in English) Life aquarium.


While it may seem odd to find an aquarium in Germany, it's right on the banks of Lake Constance (aka the Bodensee in Austria) which is the largest lake in Europe.









After the aquarium we drove back to Austria, stopping some little farm in Switzerland to get some fresh raspberries, blackberries, and plums. I'd love to show you a photo of this fruit, but it regretably was pretty much devoured before we could locate our cameras.

Back home we swam and visited, fully enjoying Rachel and Andy's backyard pool. Now we are fixin' to eat home cooked hamburgers. Yum!



Mike will add photos at his leisure (he's biking around Bregenz at the moment), so check back later for this post to get a lot prettier!

Ciao!

Here are some photos Mike took while on his bike ride to Lindau.

Looks like everyone is having a wonderful time. We wish we could be with you.

Great photo of you, Mike, when you were younger, had hair and weren't you.

I bet the Austrian cardiologists are a busy lot based on the meals we are seeing.

Keep the commentary and photos coming. We love them.

Love to all, Jimmy (aka, Dad, Unk Jimmy, Chimmy)
