Konstanz!

We meandered our way through Bavaria in our Citroen Picasso with a final destination of Konstanz: home of Francis' older brother, Peter, and his family. They have lived there for years; Konstanz is actually the hometown of Peter's wife. They own a lofty three-story dance/yoga studio downtown, right near the Germany/Switzerland border. They graciously put us all up for a couple of days and led us around their adorable lakeside town.
