We are now in Freiburg, Germany and we had a city tour with history, German language and customs. We learned about the little canals and to not accidently step in them or we would have to marry a Frieberger. We went to see the Black Forest and took a boat ride on the glacier lake. We rode the longest cable car in Germany to a high peak and even got a peak at the Swiss Alps.
