Wanderschuhe

Hallo! Wie geht’s? It’s been a rainy few days here in the famously sunny Freiburg. That has not deterred me from doing a great deal of things, however. Here’s a brief overview in what I’m sure everyone is really here for, pictures:

We went up the hill Schlossberg for a great view of the city (note the vineyard on the bottom left!!)

We snagged lunch at the Mensa (student cafeteria) for about 3 euros. Super cheap and really good, there are 2 options every day for the cheaper meals, vegetarian and normal.

We went on a hike yesterday! 9 miles and 95 flights of stairs…

Lunch halfway through the hike was at Walderstaurant St. Ottilien, right by a church in the woods.

So, as you’ve gathered from my picture tour, I have walked a good deal, and eaten about enough to make up for it all. The food here is beyond amazing, and I’m starting to pick up some words here and there (Wanderschuhe means hiking shoes, adorably enough) thanks to exposure and my German intensive course that just started on Friday. I’ve done laundry, hung stuff up on my walls, and booked a bus and a hostel for a trip to München this weekend. It may be supposed to rain all week, but that’s not going to stop me from doing as much as possible! My roommate already signed me up for a winery tour on Thursday without even needing to ask me, so that’s a good sign in my books. Tschüss for now!
