After meeting up with Tom for lunch and eating some authentic Germany food, we headed to the Christmas Market. All of the larger towns in Germany have a Christmas Market. They are set up for Advent – which is about 4 weeks before Christmas. (And on a quick random side note… Germany has the most amazing Advent Calendars!!!) So anyway, these Christmas Markets are a place where you can find food, drinks, christmas decorations, and tons of other stuff. There are heaps of booths set up and each one has something different in it. I could easily spend all day wondering around looking at all the German Christmas stuff. We also tried some yummy foods. Some of the foods and drinks you get at the Christmas markets, are only available at Christmas time. We ate some candy coated almonds, a dikkman (chocolate coated moose dome thing), little pancake things, waffles (which are a snack here not a breakfast food), Reibekuchen (mashed potatoes patties served with applesauce), something similar to a pizza with onion ham and a white cream sause, and tried some glüwein (a warm mulled spiced red wine). It was all so delicious and wished we had more time to try more things. Anyway, here are a couple pictures of the Düsseldorf Christmas Market.
