First Day in Freiburg

With beautiful weather expected for two days before the rain sets in, we decided to take advantage of the sunshine and hike up the hill above Freiberg for a grand 360 degree view from an observation tower.  We also visited the open air market that is held in the square surrounding the cathedral every day except Sunday and found some King Bolete mushrooms. The city has been here for about 1000 years and still has many buildings from its early history.  We rented an audio tour with 2 sets of headphones and were linked most of the afternoon, which presented some funny situations when one or the other of us would wander off in our usual way! We stopped at the neighborhood supermarket on the way home and dined on sparkling wine and fried mushrooms before retiring early. Biking to wine country on Thursday!
