Well the time here is flying by, but that does not stop us
from having more great experiences every day. Paul, our program coordinator,
and his lovely wife stopped by for the week to enjoy the last week of January
with us. It was so peachy enjoying the company of the two of them. I personally
just hope we didn’t scare them too much. February 1st, we beat the
sun and drove to the beautiful city of Freiburg, Germany. We started off by
walking through a nifty market right outside the Freiburg Munster Cathedral. Most
couldn’t help but stop off and try some delicious smelling street meat (as we
like to call it), German street meat. We made our way to the bottom of the 265
stairs that takes you to the very top of the Munster. The only thing I have to
say about that incredible experience, is the view of town. Magnificent. Later
on, the group and myself walked over to Café Schmidt where we met wonderful
German staff that taught us how to bake and decorate a Black Forest Cake, a
real Black Forest Cake. It was so relaxing to later be sitting in a café with
my fellow students while we enjoyed coffee, tea, and Black Forest Cake. To
finish off our excursion, we bussed our way over to the Rothaus Brewery. Humber
had the pleasure of going on a tour around the large government owned brewery,
and then ending the day with dinner at Brauereigasthof Rothaus, the restaurant
owned by the brewery. The food was good, the beer was great, and the excursion
was awesome. I strongly recommend that you take some time out of your current
or future trip to stop by and enjoy the German culture. Here goes another week
in Europe!
