Strasbourg, Black Forest & Lake Konstanz

Here are some pictures of the day we headed from France to Germany.

We started the day in Strasbourg, France. It was a beautiful city, but we didn't get to do much because it was closed (since apparently the day after Easter is a national holiday). Strasbourg is on my list of places I'd like to go back to (on a non-national holiday). These pictures were taken in an area of town called "Little France" (I believe).







And these were taken in Baden-Baden, where we visited the thermal baths. I don't have any pictures of those (not much room in a swimsuit for my camera), but here is a link to one. This was in the shopping district, which we didn't do any of, because it was a national holiday. Noticing a trend about this day of the trip? We were lucky the thermal baths were open...





Some shots of the Black Forest as we were driving:

This shot was taken on our way into the Lake Konstanz area. Those are the Swiss Alps in the background. Gorgeous, isn't it?


This is a shot of the city of Konstanz along the waterfront:

And the lake itself:


The areas of Germany that we visited this day were gorgeous -- I wish that we had more time available to cover this area, as I would have been happy to drive around just looking at the scenery for a week!!!
