On the following day, I wanted to
take a boat across Bodensee to Bregenz, the capital of the Austrian
state Vorarlberg. It was raining when I awoke, so I got up late. Later
yet did I walk to the town center. I discovered that a round trip to
Bregenz cost more than €20. Given my limited funds, I thought this was
probably too much. What if I didn't have enough money to buy food?
Unthinkable! I elected to stay in Friedrichshafen. But what would I do
with my extra day in this town? I didn't have any idea.
From the Schlosskirche, I walked northward. Eventually, I came upon the main cemetery for town. Perhaps, I thought, I might find something regarding Zeppelins. I wasn't sure, but I had a feeling there might be something interesting to see. After I returned to the town center, I shot a few more self portraits with my camera. After a nap in my tent, I returned to the town center once more. I climbed a tower which gave a view of Friedrichshafen and out over the lake. The Swiss side of the lake was mostly obscurde by mist and rain. I made a few sketches too. Through the window of the Zeppelin Museum, I could see the Hindenburg reconstruction and what remains of the bow of the LZ 130. I sketched both. I thought that it was probably the only chance I'd ever get to sketch a great Zeppelin on location. At sundown, I returned to my campsite. I had seen almost the entirety of Friedrichshafen. My pilgrimage was finished.
