You just never know how the weather will turn out near the Bodensee in August. Bodensee is the German name for Lake Constance, which is the largest lake in Germany and only 10 minutes from our house. Our weather is a bit crazy because of the lake, and also because we are situated in between the Black Forest and the Swiss Alps. This picture was taken out of Jodie's office window today. The clouds are eating the mountain!! So in addition to the lovely fog, we also have topped out at 57F....while most of the US is about 45 degrees warmer than that today!
It is supposed to improve for the weekend. We are planning to attend a local wine festival on Friday, another festival at the Bodensee on Saturday (complete with fireworks), and a Medieval Festival below a castle next to our village. The castle, Hohentwiel, was built in 914 and later destroyed by Napoleon. For all of you Wikipedia fans, here's a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hohentwiel
