It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.

Since getting back to Germany we have been on the go. It's the most wonderful time of the year in Germany, Christmas time. Paul just finished up an exercise so we have some free time now to do some traveling and see as many of these wonderful markets as we can.

Germany is known for is wonderful Weihnachtsmarkt (Christmas Markets). The biggest and most famous being Nuremberg's. We are hoping to go to Nuremberg's this week.Until then we have been trying to see as many as we can. We love strolling along the market booths eating bratwurst and sipping on gluehwein. I have picked up some really unique decorations as well as got a jump start on my Christmas shopping for next year.

So far we have been to several different markets with our least favorite being Wurzburg's and are absoulte favorite being Dinkelsbuhl. I fall in love with Dinkelsbuhl more and more everytime I go there and their Christmas market did not let me down. It was definitely the best one yet.

I think the pictures speak for themselves.

Here are a few pics from our adventures:

Rothenburg's:
