First full weekend in Freiburg is just about finished. Got to go out and explore the town and got a nice hike in the rain through the Black Forest today to cap it all off. Start a week of seminar and german class tomorrow.

 The bächle are streams of water running through most streets in the main part of the city. 

Locals say if you step in it by accident you will marry a Freiburger. (which doesnt seem too bad for guys..)

 Who knew I would come to Germany to have pizza and beer..

 Stream right next to our favorite lunch cafe just a 2 minute walk from our classes.
