Weinachts Zauber (Christmas Magic)











We've visited a whole lot of Weinachtsmarkts (Christmas markets) this December.  Here are a few pictures from our favorites.  Did some ice skating around the Neptune Fountain at the market by the TV tower.  The skates were so uncomfortable we were ready to  be done after the first painfully long loop.  The kids love it, but it's a fair bit of work to keep them upright.  This market was really cute but rather crowded.

All of the non-skating photos are from our neighborhood market--one of our favorites.  It has sled dogs, good food, and, of course, gluhwein.  Less crowded and really pretty next to the Schloss (Greta's favorite princess palace).  We went up there this afternoon to give Maria a chance to nap--she became violently ill last night.  A mug of gluhwein really makes the cold worth it.  I'm not sure how we're going to make it through the grey months of January, February, March, April....
