Wonderful visit with Ryan and Angela!

Three Amigos

Ryan and Angela, www.jetsliketaxis.com visited me in Freiburg! This post tells you what we did in the week. I will do separate posts on the art exhibition and the brewery tour. Ryan air dropped all his pictures to me and the excellence of both the exhibit and the brewery need their own posts for the pictures alone. 

Sorry it's that underline problem again...

They arrived Monday and stayed in an apartment, floor below mine, very handy. We spent the day catching up, that night their elderly dog Louis had a stroke, and passed away. Angela had been saying, even that day, she didn’t know how much longer he would be with them. R.I.P. Louis. 

Next day we went downtown to hang around the river at the Extrablat, then to Schlappen before they had a dinner engagement. Wednesday we went to Colmar, France for lunch on the canal at le Comptoir de Georges. We saw an otter swimming between the punt boats loaded with tourists. Here are a few pictures of the town.

Beautiful building now home to a Euro store, disappointment...

Then to Neuf-Brisach, France, to a street art exhibition that was closed. So we went back on Thursday after going to Zum Lamm in the Kaiserstuhl for lunch, always good there and they've updated the bathrooms where you will see one of these depending on which room you need to use.

I have seen this artist's work in other places, as post cards and in a hotel. Here is his website https://sebastian-wehrle.de/en/ scroll down to Facing Tradition for the entire series. I think they are beautiful!

We toured the amazing exhibition in the ramparts of the old walls and tunnels at Neuf-Brisach, covered in separate post.

Friday we drove to the pretty town of Elzach for a craft brewery tour at Löwenbrauerei Elzach, also covered in separate post.

Saturday was sort of catch up day so we lunched here. 

Sunday was lunch at Chada Thai = yummy! We were very lucky to sit under a large umbrella there, it was windy and the horse chestnut trees were pelting us with nuts, here's what they look like https://www.google.de/search?q=horse+chestnut+tree&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiw1_DTq-LdAhVGC-wKHTyOBh4Q_AUIDigB&biw=1050&bih=584#imgrc=wk8rGzwAT1mbDM: As you can imagine, they hurt when they hit!

Monday they left to go back to Sevilla. Great times! Thanks so much for coming to visit Ryan and Angela!!!

Cheers, Bev and Lexi Cat
