FreiburgMapJune 7–8, 2008 A pleasant little German city half an hour away from Basel.  The sidewalks in the center of town are paved with stones from the Rhine that have been sawn in half. The mosaics in front of shop entrances serve as shop signs.  Then again, in half the cases the mosaics no longer correspond to the contents.  Several medieval streets have been preserved and restored here.  The walls are decorated with eye-pleasing details.  The traffic lights are dark on the front and milk-coffee-colored on the back.  A modern outhouse.  The historical center ends quickly, and there’s nothing interesting beyond that point.  Better to loop back towards the center. A stream flows through the paved streets along the roadways here—it’s been flowing like this for the past few hundred years. Beautiful.  |
