To the top of the mountain

Our last day in Freiburg we took the tram, then a bus out to their cable car. It was a 2.2 mile climb - the longest in Germany. It was a very rainy morning so about halfway up we were completely enveloped in a cloud. Suspended way above the ground without being able to see anything but white felt a little surreal. At the top we were not able to see any of the surrounding mountains or countryside due to the clouds but treated ourselves to coffee and strudel before heading back down (so you know I am going to post food pictures again, right?). 

The town was very busy when we arrived back; it was market day in the square. So many vendors with spices, flowers, cheeses, fruit, and vegetables to choose from. 

This has been our favorite town so far with its winding alleys, street musicians, and quaint shoppes.

The view of a car going up while we went down.

The Germans sure know how to make food appealing. It was as delicious as it looks.

Every spice imaginable.

Fresh eggs by the basketful.

Artichoke blooms.

The city square market.

Dinner was a regional dish called flammkuchen. It is a type of flatbread pizza made with wonderful creams, cheeses, and fresh vegetables. There are many kinds to choose from here.
