Freiburger Münster (Cathedral of Freiburg)
I went on the German language tour (there was also an English one). The tour guide was nice, but very bad. She always talked insanely quietly, so no one could hear her. Then after she was done talking she would yell at us to catch up with her. Then when we actually got somewhere, we'd have to wait like a year and a half for her to start whispering again.
While we were in the Münster, they were having Youth Days or something, so there were a bunch of teenagers singing and leading service. The singing was terrifyingly bad.
So it was really loud in the cathedral, but our tour guide still wouldn't speak up. She did complain a bunch about how the children were ruining the Münster atmosphere.
This is inside a different church. It's Franciscan. I took this photo for you, mom - check out the icons.
We ate lunch at the Mensa in the University of Freiburg. It was a huge meal. This university, by the way, was founded before Columbus landed in America!
magnolias, apparently
They were having the weekly farmers' market on the Münsterplatz. That was a lot of fun. We got to wander around. I had gelato (€0,70!).
Rathaus (town hall), farmers' market (you can see an umbrella), fountain, and Münster
street musicians (I like this photo a lot. The guy with the head scarf or whatever reminds me of a Dürer painting. Or maybe a Vermeer.)

This is what the sidewalk in Freiburg looks like. Seriously, all over!
Do any of you remember the movie Miss Potter?

Three of us went back to see if the Münster had cleared out a bit.
It hadn't. Now they were having mass. Bad English cracks me up (and reminds me of my German).
last one - me in front of the Münster
This is number 6 in a series of about a dozen failed photos.
