Freiburg

We got here Fri. morning, ditched our luggage and then went downtown. We ended up finding a little bar and sitting for happy hour cocktails with two young female students from Med School here in the city. We had a blast and didn't leave until after 11:30. They are just 20 and seem like such babies to us but they spoke fine english and we switched between german and english all night.
It is such a young city here because of the universities and so is far more relaxed and safe for walking out and about in the night. Yesterday, we went shopping a bit for much needed things. I've seemed to have washed the crap out of most of our stuff so socks and things are needed. I`ve been suffering from allergies here in the southern parts of Germany and I knew it would happen but my face often has a rash and my hair was in bad need of a cut. So, yesterday was kind of a dolly-day.
Today we are heading out by regional train to an old fashioned village set up to show what life was like in the olden days of the Black Forest. Tomorrow, maybe Basel, SW.
