Baden-Baden

It’s cold and raining today which made our drive less than pleasant but worse, it affected our plans for the day. Our intention was to start our tour of the Black Forest with a visit to Baden-Baden, Freudenstadt and Alpirsbach today. But the weather sucks, so we decided to hang out in Baden-Baden. When the weather cleared up we went into town and explored the pedestrian areas. The main reason for visiting Baden-Baden though is the spas. We’re broke, so we skipped this and that is also why we originally planned to visit more than one town today. The small pedestrian area was really nice to explore, but as you can expect, there were many stores catering to tourists. Julie loves this tree (below) so much that she took a few pictures and hopes to have it in our yard when we get back to Canada. We have no idea what kind of tree it is though.
