Basel, Switzerland - Freie Strasse and Barfüsserplatz Christmas Market

The walk continued on Münsterberg to Freie Strasse in front of the New Yorker store.  I saw bubbles floating and delighted children reaching to touch them.  Continuing on Freie Strasse and turning left on Streitgasse to the market at Barfüsserplatz.  From there a quick taxi ride finished the day's tour.  (Couldn't figure out the location of the bus stop.)  That is the end of the wonderfully exhausting day.  One note: the taxi driver had to turn off the car while waiting for a fare and waiting for the payment at the end.  Reduced pollution measures?
