All Saint's Day

This past week I did not have school because today is All Saint's Day. This break gave me a chance to visit some cities in Germany. I made sure to visit cemeteries while traveling, in part as a way to keep in mind those that have passed away.

Friedhof Ohlsdorf in Hamburg

Each of the cemeteries that I saw created a beautiful and peaceful green area in the middle of the large cities. These spaces were perfect for getting away from the noise and activity of the city. The quiet nature gave a perfect opportunity to think without distractions.

A little bit of peace and quiet can do a lot of good.

Herz-Jesu-Kirche Freiburg | Sabbeth Sites

Last year I was able to take a trip while studying in Germany. I had made sure I would see all the sites I was hoping to see. The last thing to plan was getting back to the town where I was staying.

I had to change buses in a city called Freiburg. Freiburg had not been on my list of places to see, but I had time to look around while waiting for my next bus to come.

I found the town to be a very nice place that is surrounded by nature as it is between the Rhein and the Black Forrest. Freiburg might not have been on my radar, but I look forward to the next time I end up somewhere that was not in my initial plans.
