*from April 21 & 22
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We took a bunch of pictures and then went up to the old castle & waterfall. [More pictures!] We also found a garden./park/play area & a view that overlooked the port. [More pictures!] We went in search of food afterward & found a creperie in the market area. I got a smoked salmon with creme fresh crepe. :) One of my friends got a tomato & mozzarella crepe--but it came with smoked prosciutto. I ate some/most of it since she wasn't used to the semi-uncooked texture--kind of like sushi. I would've eaten more, but I didn't really like the pesto that was with it.

After lunch, we found the flower market & came across a seafood restaurant where the lady insisted that we take pictures of the food. I found an orchid plant that I wanted to buy for my mom, but didn't know how I could bring it back to Germany/the USA. [*wouldn't be able to bring it to the USA anyway since plants aren't allowed*]

We spent more of the afternoon going into the little shops (mostly souvenir shops)--I bought a new scarf for 5 euro. :) We saw a mansion's gardens and then bought gelato. We ate on a bench, looking at the Sea. After we were done eating, we sat on the beach. So relaxing. I took pictures, watched the waves, thought, and prayed.

We went to a model car collector shop and then went to the hotel. On the way back, we saw some street dancers.
We walked back to the old part of town because we decided to try to check out the piano bar that was next to Wayne's Bar. The piano bar sold mostly drinks, so we had dinner at Wayne's. It seemed to have an American theme, which was nice. I ordered a Wayne's Club--it came with chips...actually, it came with three chips.

On Monday morning, we got ready & packed up our stuff. We had breakfast at the hotel & thanked the owner who "is
SO nice!" We went to the train station, where I tried to reserve a seat for Paris (again) but was told that there were none available & that the French holiday ends on May 3rd. We got on the train to go to Ventimiglia. Ventimiglia-->Milan. I tried to reserve a seat for France again, but was told that I had to make the reservation in Konstanz. We bought pizza & gelato for lunch at the station, along with snacks--I got "Mango & Friends" juice, wafers, and a Tronky bar (which was basically like an inside out Ferrero Rocher.

Milan-->Lugano. Lugano-->Zurich. Zurich-->Weinfelden. Weinfelden-->Konstanz. We arrived around 10:30pm and walked back to the apartments. I went on Facebook, unpacked, ate a little, and then it was time for SLEEP!
Peace. Love. Happiness.
