In Germany, Christmas time is HUGE! The people brave 25* temps., snow included, to walk the streets of countryside villages in search of that perfect Christmas item... or a warm glass of Gluhwein, a very warm, very potent Germany hot wine. They drink it like its koolaid, and is it ever yummy!!!
This weekend we ventured out to Nuremberg, Germany for one of the larger Markets. We met up with friends Wes and Gabby who happen to be friends of Erics from some 20 years ago! Wes and Eric were stationed here in Germany together way back when... found one another on facebook and was given the chance to hook up once again. They were wonderfully gracious hosts, and wow... can gabby cook! :)
We walked the cobblestone streets, drinking Gluhwein, eating bratwurst and listening to the music that filled the crisp air. It was wonderful!!!
And as the weekend came to a close, Eric and I headed home where we were greeted by the seasons first snow fall. The streets were pure white with tree lined roads dusted with white powder. Looks like it could be my first ever white Christmas!
Here are a few images from our wonderful weekend~
