Photos from Germany




















Day 1 in Freiburg















The Snow began to settle in (looking away from the city)




















At the end of the first week we took a trip into the Black Forest on Saturday. This is the church of a monastery up in the mountains.















Next to the church - although the snow was thicker here it did get quite thick in Freiburg!















Inside the church, intricate and well lit rococo architecture.















Amazing artwork in many different areas: the gates, ceiling and pipe organ.




















Inside the library of the monastery. The object of occupation of the Brothers here was language study and research and there is here a many-hundred-year-old Bible in seven or eight translations (including Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, Latin and others)
















Typical Black Forest scenery. Very beautiful. We had here an awesome snowfight (Schneeballschlacht) that lasted at least half an hour. I could no longer feel my hands despite going inside numerous times to warm them!
