So, we are still playing catch-up for the past couple of months. About three weeks after the Basel trip, Tim and Lesley came for a visit. Too bad they couldn't stay for two years though. We went to the Münster, and toured downtown in Freiburg. Me and Tim climbed up the 287 stairs to the viewing place (whatever it's called). The view of the city is well worth the climb.
Erika and Lesley enjoyed the bottom of the Münster:
We also took a day trip to Colmar (France). It was nice to see that they seemed to enjoy it as much as we had the first time we went. Lesley was snapping pictures left and right of random old doors in various camera effects (sepia, etc). We also took a ride on France's (or Europe's, I can't remember) 'largest carousel'. Not sure where they got that claim. We wandered around a bit and made our way to 'Petite Venise', and stopped at a quaint looking place for supper. We figured out from the menu that they only served pizza for a main course (actually, flammkuchen, apparently you should never confuse the two), so we ordered a couple, acquired a month's worth of salt intake, and left more hungry and thirsty than we came. Thus ended Colmar (more or less), a very enjoyable day.
We also spent a couple of hours in the Schwarzwald, at Titisee. It is a touristy kind of place that sells all kinds of 'traditional' German stuff, like cuckoo clocks and wood Christmas decorations. Tim had a tattoo appointment in Freiburg that we needed to get back to, which kind of cramped our time there (I think Tim and Lesley liked Titisee a lot). We toured the shops, checked out the lake, toured the shops, started to head back, and toured more shops, and then headed for the train. Tim got a taste of black forest cake for the return trip, which included a mickey of booze soaked into the cherries. Nasty.
We had a lot of fun during the week checking out Rieselfeld (our area of Freiburg), watching movies, eating a truckload of Mars ice cream bars, and getting caught up. All in all, our best week in Freiburg to this point, thanks for coming over Unruhs! We leave you with a picture of Lesley downtown.
