Boat Trip to Constance

We took a boot ride across Lake Constance, "The Bodensee" yesterday and despite the rain we had a good time. In fact, the rain has brought us some relief from the hot summer sun. We took advantage of the good shopping in Constance. The girls bought the most! Three hous in a shopping mall is a "teen dream"!
I was amazed to find an Aldi's in the basement of the mall with the same design as the American Aldi's but with different products, ofcourse. It was fun to compare! The arrangement of the store was exactly the same.
On the way home we took a bus and rode right on to a ferry; which carried us to Meersburg; where we drove off the ferry! Wild!
Everyone is fine. Today, Kate is one day post-op and pushing to get out of the hospital. She wants to get up but must wait until monday when the physical therapist will fit her for crutches. She is planning on watching Zoolander on Mark's computer tomorrow. Bye for now!
