Sunday April 8, 2012


Left Nußdorf this morning after breakfast. Headed along the black forest after getting lost a couple times and finding a McDonalds to pee at and take a picture of McBeer. Yes, you can actually order beer at McDonalds but not through the drive through we are presuming. 

Found our way to downtown Freiburg. Driving and parking downtown was an adventure but thankfully its Easter Sunday and not a crazy as it could have been. We found our hotel and checked in. Its cute and above a restaurant that thankfully is open until 10 pm tonight so we will actually get dinner other than the salami and chocolate we bought yesterday.

We found a brewery to have lunch and had our first pretzel in Germany, om nom nom, plus sausages and beer of course. We wandered Freiburg a bit before having to pee again (it wasn't just me!) so headed back to the hotel which is close by.  Most of the shops are closed which is sad because I would have spent a bunch of money here. Cute antique stores and jewelry and shoes and souvenirs. We did find one souvenir store that was open and I bought a little something for mom. 

We didn't have internet access last night so I didn't get a chance to post pictures. 

Freiburg was mostly closed up due to the Easter holiday so we ended up spending the evening in the room watching one of the movies we had put on the iPad before leaving home. 


Nate outside our hotel that is above a cute little restaurant. 


Our lunch included our first pretzel in Germany. Soooo good!

Cute little side streets in Freiburg



Nate is very sad that the hat store is closed. 


Plaza in front of the cathedral in Freiburg


Look closely... the gargoyle is facing backwards. When it rains see where the water comes out of? :)
