Freiburg, Deutschland

Mmmmmm...I smell sausages already.

So my next stop was Freiburg. I stayed there for about 5 days with an old friend, Johanna. The town was FULL of bikes. I mean, there were more bikes than cars. Most people lived within twenty blocks of the city center, and gas prices are like $7/gal., so everyone bikes around there.

Remember how excited I was when i had my first French meal? Enter, stage right, German food.

My first German meal consisted of two huge 2" thick German-style porkchops, with a huge pile of these German noodley fry thingies, and a large gravy boat full of brown gravy to drown them in. Oh, and it came with a big side salad too.

I ate them slowly...savoring every delicious bite...washing it down with a nice, frosty German lager (which incidentally was cheaper than the water, hahah).

I also found bratwurst stands all over...soooo good. I think I liked the white veal/pork ones the best. Covered in mustard and ketchup, these puppies are to die for.

Besides the food, we did a decent amount of biking and walking around. The city of Freiburg wasn't huge, but there was still some nice historical things, and a nice hill overlooking the city. But mostly I enjoyed just having a place to be lazy at, for once. So I spent my days in Freiburg predominantly on the couch, hahah.
