We are spending our last few days in Germany enjoying the Christmas (Weihnachten) markets. Winter has arrived in Germany and it is cold! As I type it is lightly snowing outside. We've been going to the markets for short intervals enjoying a different feature each time. There are 3 within 2 blocks of our apartment and one across town at Thurn & Taxis. The one we enjoyed most was the one Tim and I went to on our last "date night" here. It was the market at the palace Thurn and Taxis. It was very traditional and quaint, while the others are more a festival/carnival sort of atmosphere. Our camera had a dead battery on date night, but I am posting a link to a slide show from their site (the woman pictured is the current princess, Gloria).
