"Christmas markets have been part of this festive time (Christmas) for centuries in Germany." Here in Denver we have our very own Denver Christkindl Market. It's a quaint little "town/market" put up downtown and filled with various vendors of trinkets and food.
We snagged Elianna early from school (before lunch instead of after lunch) and went downtown to eat lunch and browse through the market. We began with an appetizer - a large soft pretzel that was so light and fluffy (in a good pretzel kind of way). For lunch, Elianna had potato latkes with applesauce and sour cream (so good!) while Chris and I both had German bratwurts (his with sauerkraut and mine without - thank you very much!). We ended our time of
While we were eating lunch, a guy in German garb (Chris confessed to me that when he was little he also had German garb he wore) played an accordion. Elianna loves music so she naturally began to sway and dance. The accordion man (accordionist I suppose) invited Elianna up onto the stage to help him play. Being the outgoing child she is, she decided to play shy and act as though she does not like to be the center of attention (all of which is seriously untrue! except for the outgoing part).
Other than eat delicious food, we simply walked around and enjoyed the scenery.
