September, on a home exchange with a gentleman who is staying in our Asheville house during this time.
Freiburg is a vibrant University town located in a valley surrounded by the Black Forest.
Today we drove up to the Black Forest, a patchwork of forest, fields, and picturesque villages. Among the latter was Saint Margen, which has a historic convent and church. Behind the church, was a beautiful cemetery, with meticulously maintained living plants adorning each grave. Among the visitors were two small boys in cycling outfits watering a gravesite of an elderly woman. Perhaps the grave of a grandmother? It was quite touching.
