A Winter Wonderland & Other Final Moments

I spent my last week in Freiburg hiking, studying, and enjoying final special moments with friends. One hike I went on was in Triberg, to see one of the highest waterfalls in Germany. The town was dusted in snow and surrounded by snow-capped hills and pine trees.

The waterfall is about a twenty-minute walk from the train station, through a town filled with tourist shops, toy stores, and cafés. I hiked for a long while on the snow-covered trails around the waterfall.

The last week in Freiburg, I had exams in all of my classes and a few papers due as well. On Wednesday, I went to a café with one of my German friends and had my last Eiskaffee (ice cream coffee).

On Thursday, I went to eat with all of my American friends, and I went to my last Bible study with my German friends. I headed out on the train on Friday afternoon, spent the night in Heidelberg, and then flew home from Frankfurt on Saturday. I made so many fun memories in Freiburg this semester, and it was so sad leaving this beautiful country.

Bye, Freiburg!
Bye, Freiburg!
