Hello friends...just back from a quick trip to the Dresden Christmas markets...what a beautiful city!
We walked from Noon to 8:30 on Saturday, to three different Christmas markets, and by the time we finally got back to the hotel my feet ached! The markets consist of rides for the kids, booth after booth after booth of things made it different parts of Germany, some food booths, and a Gluhwein (mulled wine) booth every 20 feet. The even had Gluhbier booths...but I didn't try mulled beer. I still have Christmas markets in Munich and Berlin, so I'll have to think a little harder about that! I am pretty sure that I gained 5 pounds this weekend...even with all the walking...but it was worth every bit of it!
Today we found a little random market, much smaller scale (maybe because you had to pay to get into this one - or just had to know how to get there) and spent our whole day there. We met some neat people, watched a great musical group, and relaxed until our train at 3p.
I'm attaching a few pics...one of Flat Tony enjoying Christmas, one of us girls, and one of the views of a small part of Dresden. I will try to put more on Facebook later. I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and had a wonderful start to your December.
Good-night and God-bless,
from Berlin
