It was COLD for this Southern girl! Look at the headlines. Snow is shutting down the airports, closing the streets, and kicking the kids out of school in Germany. We made it back just in time!
Gluhwein, the traditional mulled wine, is gross. We settled for tons of hot chocolate…I mean tons. Each market has a commemorative mug for the gluhwein/hot chocolate. We collected about 20…yeah…that much hot chocolate.
Honestly, we still didn’t have any better schnitzel than what we can get at Friedhelm’s Bavarian Inn in Fredericksburg, TX. Texas has a long German history and I am surprised there is no Christmas market here. We could pull it off. Hmmmm…..
Oh, thinking about interior décor in Germany? Fuhgeddaboutit. Enjoy the highly social Weihnachtsmarkt, love all of the traditional Lebkuchen (I know I spelled that wrong. a.k.a gingerbread), marvel at the decorations, freeze in the seasonal cold that we lack, and try to visit the 100′s of markets you missed the next time you are there!
Italy calls.
