Schauinsland

Today I woke up before my alarm. Manuel was already gone. After I showered and went on the internet, I went to the grocery store and bought some fruit and to the bakery and bought a doughnut thing and a sandwich. The doughnut thing was very good, although it did cost a bit more than a doughnut in the US.

This afternoon, we went to Schauinsland, saw a 400-year-old farmhouse, and walked up a mountainish thing. Someone commented that the farmhouse is older than the USA. The uphillness of the hike was a bit strenuous. A few times, I just wanted to lie down and die, but I didn’t and eventually I got to the top. I’m too exhausted to write much more. We could see the Alps from the top of the mountain. They were really far away and it was a bit hazy around them, but we could see some of the tips. I think my face got burned.

I was listening to Christmas music and I got a craving for something deep-fried.

I’m hungry. …and I just found some gummy bears leftover from this afternoon. Ulli’s son, Alexander, distributed them. The kids were really cute today.

Freiburg is the city and France can be seen in the background.

If you were looking at this picture on my computer, you would be able to see the tips of the Alps.
