Earlier this year, while traveling throughout Germany, I spent a week in Konstanz. I got to see the city in sun, blue skies, rain, wind, hail and clouds, a little of everything. Here are a few photographs of Konstanz under cloudy skies.

reminiscing cloudy konstanz
It's almost October, today is a rainy, cloudy and windy day in Vancouver and for once I don't seem to mind.

off to the races
yesterday kadie and i went to hastings racetrack. it was wiener dog and horse racing day. we were pretty excited. unfortunately it had been raining all morning so the wiener dogs got cancelled. kadie and i stuck around, got some pop and hot dogs and watched the horses instead.
it was intense. its kinda of really awesome. i think more exciting was watching the people tho. before going i had these images in my head of ladies in heels and pretty dresses with big flower hats and guys in suits and tall hats. i was not disappointed! sure enough a few people in the vip sections were dressed all fancy-pants. equally exciting was watching people gamble away all their money and their reactions when the horses galloped towards the finish line.
i love horses. always have (yes, i was that pre-teen girl with posters of horses in her bedroom). horses are amazing animals. they are tall and elegant and strong. i did horse back riding for quite a few years. i loved it. still do.
anyway......i have mixed feelings towards these horse races. i feel like i shouldn't write too much here without doing my research first but....isn't there a lot of like...animal cruelty that goes along with horse races? horse racing is intense. in between races we went down to look at the horse and they all looked extremely nervous and agitated. that can't be good.
i'll have to do some research on this topic.....although there was that little bit of worried-sick-feeling in my stomach for the sake of the horses, i did love going.
this was my first horse race and i doubt it'll be my last!
next i want to see the wiener dogs!!!!
