A Quiet Sunday in Europe

Today was a great end to the week and a great start to the next. I went to Basel Switzerland this morning for a few hours. It was extremely quiet and empty, in a peaceful Sunday morning kind of way. Free admission to the Art Museum and a student fair to the Art Hall found me some cool architecture and art. I didn't get a good feeling for Basel, Sunday certainly isn't the best day to capture a city atmosphere.
I came back to Freiburg around 3 to find a take what you will kind of market outside my complex. They were dishing out hot soup and chai from a keg in a shopping cart. I found a long sleeve shirt and a hand sitched/woven stool. I gave the family offering them 1.60 euro and they were more than grateful.
This evening has been the perfect kickoff to the upcoming week. Jazz on my balcony with tea, a quiet evening. An early night rest for an early morning start. Freiburg feels like a home made for me that's simply been waiting my arrival.

  1. Just thinking about tea on the balcony with jazz at night is peaceful. Glad you had a good day. That's the Rhine river in the picture of Basel, right?
