End of the week

A group of us from my program went to “Schauinsland” today. It is a village eight miles from Freiburg and it lies in the hills. Think of the shire. We visited an old house, built in 1766, that was quite nice. This morning I went to the Freiburg Muenster church, built in 1250, with a friend I met Friday night. It was very cool, entirely different from services I’m used to. Almost all the songs were sung in Latin. The music was written differently, hard to follow. The organ was beautiful, like none in the U.S. I suppose.

Muenster.

Bedroom inside the 1766 house. Bed for two. Poor family, but they still had really nice church clothes. Some friends from the Program on our lunch break.


That's Freiburg in the distance. This is shot from the top of Schauinsland. There is a fifteen minute tram car ride that runs from the Top of Schauinsland to the outskirts of Freiburg. We hiked up, rode back :)
