A short addition to yesterday

So yesterday's post was a little on the down side.  Sadly today it is actually raining - also depressing after all the beautiful sunshine we have had!  Also I have a really sore throat but am unsure what soothers (or something like that) are called here.  So will have to figure that out soon.

But on a side note to yesterday, I realised I did do some interesting things I didn't mention.  Namely, I went to a 'food court' called Markt Halle for lunch.  It was really cool; kinda like a food court, but more like the ones at say the Bus Depot Markets in Canberra or the Victoria Markets in Melbourne - more like permanent stalls as opposed to actual shops.  Had foods from all different nationalities, but I ended up getting Chinese lol.

Also went to a bar last night that is in a building that used to be a morgue.  It was all cement and underground.  Basically creepy but cool, and full of spirits.  (See what I did there... :P).  Had a drink that was Malibu, cherry and orange - strange but good.  Also met some guys from America and France - awkwardly went up to them to ask where they were from, cos we could hear they were speaking English, which of course made us curious!  But music was too loud to hear their accents.  Convinced Jenna to ask them as it was her last night here so she would definitely never see them again :P  They were nice though - all living in Freiburg, and knew each other from being in the same rugby union team.  Then had an early night, taking the tram and walking in the rain. 

And today I bought some delicious looking jams from the markets to take with me to London.  Though I didn't actually get mirabella jam, which I'll have to do before I leave.  But got schwarze Johannesbeeren, pfirsch (peach) and aprikose, which I could easily get at home but it looked so delicious I couldn't help myself!  Got it at the Munsterplatz markets, immediately following our short city tour we did in the second half of class this morning.  That was also kinda good - the teacher had little palm cards she'd prepared with info she had researched, and maps of Freiburg in the 12-1300s, it was really cute.  It was kind of raining on us, but it was much better than sitting bored in the classroom!

Anyway, finishing off my last hours in the language lab, then planning to find some soothers and go home.  Might meet some friends for dinner, but otherwise no big plans for this evening - its definitely a snuggle in bed with a movie kinda evening I think!
