Bodensee Isle of Mainau

Sat. we went to the Isle of Maina. It was turned into a tropical island by one of the grandson's of a Swedish King. We spent several hours walking around the gardens.






Blibermuhle Hotel in Germany

We (Don and I) went to an old mill converted into a hotel on Laber Day weekend. It was very peaceful and beautiful. The weekend weather cooperated and we spent most of the time at the nearby Lake Constance or as the Germans call it. the Bodensee. It borders Germany, Switzerland and Austria.

Plane Lock- France

We drove about an 1 1/2 to see this lock that is a vertical drop built a long time ago and as we walked up to the gate to get in for a ride down the lock, they were closing for a 2 hour lunch! So we took pictures instead!
