Chillin in the Heat: Day 20 - Rest day in Freiburg

Today we rest. We've always appreciated that in Germany, most businesses are closed on Sunday's (though it takes us a few weeks being out of NA to come to this realization).

We slept in, had a leisurely breakfast and then set out to wander around this university town to see what we could find. Since it is a uni town, there were lots of younger folks going about their business. Classes might just be getting started and everyone seemed to be in a good mood.

All in, a pretty relaxed day, just what we wanted for a rest day. A few pics to show what it was all about

Song of the day:

The Last High by the Dandy Warhols .... a dreamy number that just fits the feel of the day

This is a small part of the secure bike storage at the main train station

Kirsten figures this shirt is for me, particularly after editing this journal every night

Jacquie GaudetThis is Germany and English is a second language for them. No excuses for native English speakers!

I'm a retired engineer, but my last job included marking reports written, often badly, by engineering students...

Most of the streets in the old town have these open gutters with quite clean water running through them. Is seems that the water source is from springs in the adjacent hills

Good Lord Franz! What were our parents thinking? The inside of a restaurant we did NOT eat in
