Freiburg Geschichten

It is currently early September and I have had new adventures since I last wrote. At the end of August I finished my German classes up at the AIB and said good bye to the 25 CBYXer's, teachers, and my host mom. I am so grateful for all of the good times I had in Bonn with my host mom Rosi and my new friends. It is different not seeing them everyday but I know that they are all out having their own adventures all around Germany.

 

On August 30th I took a train from Bonn to Freiburg and met my new family. I only stayed in Denzlingen (a suburb of Freiburg) for a week but my host mom Giedre and I went on several adventures.

 

During the week I interned at the Carl-Schurz-Haus, an American Institute for children to learn and practice English. After work Giedre and I would watch movies in German or go wandering through ein Stadt (city or town).

We started off with Freiburg. I also did some wandering during my lunch breaks...

We visited a small town called Glottertal by biking through fields that lead up to the Schwarzwald (Black Forest). 

 

 

Another day we walked around Freiburg and visited Rombach bookstore and had Döner for dinner. With food in hand we made our way towards Schloßberg. The hike was not too long but it was quite steep, and the view of Freiburg was gorgeous!

 

 

Then on Saturday September 6th, we explored Stuttgart and Heidelberg.

I really enjoyed visiting these two cities with my Host Mom! Both Cities were very nice and unique. Stuttgart was a mix of old architecture with very modern buildings, while Heidelberg in the Alt Stadt was gorgeous old buildings and winding streets.

 

The next morning was my last day in Freiburg and I had a nice Früstück (breakfast) with my Host Mom and Dad. Then I was off to my permanent home in Lörrach!

 

Tschüss!
