Konstanz and Luzerne (kinda)

From Europe 2009

I got up this morning and took the train to Konstanz, Germany. Jose thought about coming but all the walking around in the sun would tire him out for the opera tonight, so he skipped it. Good thing too, because it was HOT.

It's a nice town - VERY touristy. The fire department was lifting people in cherry-picker type things just for a view, there were people dancing around in costumes, people sunning themselves by the lake.

I found a pair of pants I kind of liked but they were 30's (my size) and TOO BIG?! Either I'm losing weight with all the walking or they were running kind of big. Anyway, I almost bought the 30's but they are pretty funky and I would have a hard time finding occasions to wear them. I'm planning on doing some more shopping on Monday. I wish things weren't so damned expensive. But, I have been very good with my money so far, so...

After the 1000th Swiss town I got kind of bored and decided to go to Luzerne and go to the top of Pilatus again. I got all the way there and guess what? The upward lifts were closed. I missed the last one by like 2 hours. I thought I was going to be able to see the sun set from up there. Boo. I just got back on the train back to Zurich.

I looked around for a place to eat but being Saturday night, everything was mobbed. I got McDonalds.
