I found the airport on Lake Constance – der Bodensee, before I found Lindau, one of the shooting locations for the German detective show referenced in the above title.

I happened to go to Google StreetView for the airport and started travelling down a side road by the airport. Nothing of interest, except I started to see abandoned vehicles pulled off to the side of the road. I have images of three of these commercial vehicles. From the advertising on these vehicles, I visited their web sites… see links below:

Hunn Gartenmobil – Winterschutz

Transkona Logistik

Interestingly, while visiting the Hunn Gartenmöbel site I gravitated to a page entitled, “Winterschutz für Gartenmöbel” and I understood quite a bit of what was being said on the page, without referencing an online translation. e.g. “Wenn die ersten Blätter von den Bäumen fallen und die Abende kühler werden, ist es an der Zeit, die Gartenmöbel… ” One of the words, “Schutzhüllen” was translated “protective covering”. So, “Winterschutz” – winter protection, and “Schutzhüllen” for protective covering, were recognizable because I knew from my recent Duolingo practices that “Umweltschutz” meant “environmental protection”.

Eilguthalle (Restaurant)

One of the things I have gravitated to, in learning German, is to go to Google Maps and then the StreetView to see various locations. I’ve done this in connection with TV shows or movies that I have been watching. At some point I may see a restaurant icon, and I click on it to get a feel for that particular restaurant and inevitably, I take a look at their menu. Sometimes, rarely, the restaurant web site shows pictures of the food that they have on the menu. But often I have to type the menu item into a google search, along with some of the other included ingredients… and often I have been pleased to see several images of how others have produced the listed item. Their version.

Now, I don’t understand how baked beet root, risotto and green pea puree, even with Saffron foam can be priced at 22 euros. Still the four images above of baked beet root (none with Erbsenpuree or Safranschaum) “alles sieht für mich sehr lecker aus”.

So, just before I closed the web site for Eilguthalle, I came across their “Emphalung” for “Grüne Curry Suppe / Garnele / Bananen / Kokosmilch” apparently, a green curry soup with shrimp, bananas and coconut milk… hmmm? I couldn’t find any images for all of the ingredients listed above, but it sounds like something I might like to try. *I visited “Thai Lanna” restaurant today for lunch. This was the renamed “Thai Pepper” restaurant that I had frequented each week, for so many years. But, there is no more daily buffet, and the food I had, a “Basil & Chicken” dish, with rice just didn’t have a distinctive flavor. It was hot, very hot, and I had asked for very hot, but even sweetener did not “turn” this for me. I don’t get anything out of hot for hot’s sake. Oh, and no buffet meant very few customers, which I guessed at “probably no buffet” because there were very few cars in the parking lot, at a time, just after noon, when there should have been many.

Talked with a young black man, my waiter, in a protective mask (him not me) about “Tamed Jalapeno” peppers, and showed him a photo of the Mezzetas Tamed Jalapenos that I had tried previously. Also mentioned the “Jalapeno Pork” dish that I used to love, but hated the late night, early morning, results.
