These mines date back to the 13th/14th centuries, and used to make nearby Freiburg one of the richer cities in Europe.

Sledding in the Swiss Alps!
Yesterday… My study abroad program organized an optional day trip – skiing/sledding on the Alps in Switzerland!

It was an early morning […]

We hiked up to the ruins – they’ve been around since the High Middle Ages! Around 1100 ad. The hills all around […]

Exploring Freiburg
Our first assignment in Freiburg: get to know the city! We broke into four groups 14-ish people to explore the different areas in town. Here’s some of the highlights from today and my group’s walk!

Going, Going…. Not Going!
I made my packing list, checked it twice: everything was ready to go this morning! The weather outside was frightful. Roads covered in ice, interstates closed, and a lot of very un-Atlanta-ish snowfall. But we had a plan! Everything was lookin’ good and my family was all ready to head out the door and into […]
