Saturday late morning we arrive in Basel, Switzerland and wait for the next bus to Freiburg. Once at the Hauptbahnhof (main train station) we walked to the Black Forest Hostel by the Schwabentor and checked into our room. The hostel is really cool and everyone nice. The only downside is the lack of free wifi and only 2 computers that you have to pay for.
After settling in I took Cleo, Yvonne, and Liza on a mini tour of Freiburg - Münsterplatz, Bertoldsbrunnen, Martinstor, Rathausplatz - and showed them the cobblestones, Bächle and anything else that I could remember. We were able to catch the tail end of the market and ate some Bockwurst and really fresh strawberries.
Liza went back to nap for a bit, but the rest of us walked around awhile more to do some shopping. We found a really awesome jewelry shop that sold all kinds of specific minerals and semiprecious stones. I bought two rings - one of a snail's shell and another of Opal. They also had things like coral, unakite, malachite and lava! We stopped off at an Eiscafe and ate Spaghettieis! So good! I had a neopolitan style one with vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry all in the shape of spaghetti.
Eventually we headed back to the hostel, showered and got ready to go out. I took them to my cavorts place ever - Schlappen - to eat frittierte kartoffeln and flammekuchen. Afterwards we went to Shooters and got some shots like Van Goth and American Pie. This place is cool because they have an entire wall of just various names including Porsche Maria Barcelona and Sexy...though it goes on and basically each name is a different type of shot that you would not necessarily know the ingredients of. We ended the night at an diskothek called Agar that my study abroad friends and I went to. Around 1:30 am we headed back and immediately passed out.
