Freiburg

Probably the prettiest weekend yet in Horb. I woke up Saturday morning and headed to the train station to leave for Freiburg with the other HHK students. It was the longest train ride for an excursion yet, with a whopping total of close to three hours.

Freiburg was absolutely worth it though. It is the city in Germany that receives the most sunlight year round. The weather was positively pleasant. After a short tour with our favorite guide Juliana, we sat outside drinking coffee, and walked around the small farmer's market set up around the town center. 

I decided that someday, it would be pretty wonderful to just live in the sunniest city in Germany, and bring your wares to the marketplace to sell. It seems like a really enjoyable life. Freiburg was possibly the prettiest and least eventful 'ausflug' that we've done with HHK.
