Freiburg-Bilder

Freiburg has these little open gutters all througout the city, which I guess back in the day were used to water livestock, not sewage but clean water

below: notice how horrible--McDonalds RIGHT ON one of the most beautiful, historic city gates. :( This is why the Italians founded the Slow Food movement. Eat Wurst in Germany! Eat Pizza in Italy! NOT McDonalds!

below: Michael noticed this: a memorial to the witches who were burned here. ha!

Freiburg im Breisgau

a few days now in Freiburg, in the very southwest of Germany, near the border to France and Switzerland, in the Black Forest. The city itself is amazingly beautiful...pastel-colored buildings, a tightly-woven Innenstadt with winding little cobblestone streets, lots of students and cafés, nice atmosphere. The light rain this evening even felt refreshing after all the sun the last few days.


More pictures to come!
