on your left side...

(so my computer battery is dying and I'll try to do this fast)

This is "Martins Tor" or nicknamed McDonald's Tor, because the city was dumb enough to allow McDonalds to put their sign ON the tunnel/door. As you see the sign on the lower left side, right past the Subway sign.

This is somewhat the entrance to the city center--always crawling with people, as you'll see next.

Here you'll see "Bertold's Brunnen" which is the city center. The lines above are the Tram lines as all lines converge here.

The place is ALWAYS full with people, whether it be Monday morning at 9 a.m. or Thursday night at 1:00 a.m.

The shops are all specialized and set little kiosks out on the cobblestone sidewalks.

Lining all these streets is a Bachchen "a little stream" that runs into the city center (which is a statue just off to the left of the photo). The legend is that if you fall into this little stream, you have to marry someone from Freiburg.

This is the lovely Strassenbahn that I take everyday. Number 3 to Vauban. Quite similar and as clean as the lightrail in Minneapolis.

Coming next (when I can get internet) is a travel up the local hillside for a overview of the city, a view of Muenster--the large cathedral in town, and Vauban--the student residence where I live.

Until then,

Later Days,
Rick
