Hallo!
So I got to tour more of Freiberg this Saturday. Besides the few occasional stares from the locals, nothing out of the ordinary. Although a couple of bikers did honk at me and screamed something in Deutsch to which I just nodded and smiled ;-)
Oh, and I did meet a guy from Algeria. Even though he spoke broken French, English and Deutsch, it was fun speaking a blend of all three languages and at times just nodding my head in agreement when I had no clue as to what he was saying. lol.

Basically these were the old, ancient gates of the town of Freiberg. (The Donatstor)
 
Then on to the Dom zu Freiberg - Freiberg Cathedral
These buildings are just massive, that it is impossible to capture their elegance and stature in a picture. But I had to try!
   
Unfortunately, the inner entrance was closed, so I could only see so far.
So that was that, for the rest of the day, I got to see the park (TierPark) and to explore a little bit more of Freiberg. Saw the Terra Mineralia (part of it at least - the free part)
I will be honest and say I did get lost a couple of times. :D But like a friend reminded me recently, if you get lost, don't worry - the world is round. lol.
Here, enjoy some more pictures - for free ;-)
I must add that the Terra Mineralia is one of the largest mineral exhibitions in the world with more than 3,500 exhibits! (Terra Mineralia)
   Picture - ok, just make sure you get my good side 
Ducks being ducks. They've got their duck face look on. lol
 Twas' a beautiful day in the park :)  Lake
