Visiting the Christmas Market in Frankfurt

It’s been about 20 years since I was at the Frankfurt Christmas market, and it was pretty much exactly as I remembered it, although maybe with a few different warm quaffables. Last Monday, Frankfurt’s Weihnachtsmarkt opened and I was there the next day to sample baked goods, sweets, brats, potato pancakes and gluwein and much more in the old town streets. The energy was infectious, the smells were off the charts, and the temperature was perfect – a chill in the air perfectly offset by the steaming mug of mulled red wine.

The market runs for another couple weeks – be sure to check it out if you can get to Frankfurt.
