After Gretchen's near-visit to Freiburg last week, we decided to visit Freiburg (as opposed to Wal-Mart) on Saturday. We really enjoyed it. It was only 40 minutes by train (probably even quicker by car). Bustling downtown, lots of young people (it's a university town), great outdoor market, pretty views from a hillside overlooking the old town. We have friends that studied there in college and loved it, and now we understand why.
