Christmas Markets Heidelberg

As we have mentioned before, the Christmas Market in Heidelberg begins literally less than 100 yards from our little apartment. On one of our many walks through town we decided to stop and pick up a Bratwurst for Addie (who still refers to them as "hot dogs" much to Ryan's chagrin). She loved it! What you can't tell from the photo is that the Wurst itself is almost twice as long as the baguette it is on. She would have eaten it all if not for a tragic moment in the grocery store when it hit the floor and Mom and Dad declared it inedible.

Mom and Dad needed some dinner as well, so we went for potato soup in a bread bowl! (note Addie in the background in her Hello Kitty gloves still working on the 1/2 meter bratwurst.

We also ran into Santa along the way, and he and Addie had a very serious chat about something. He spoke perfect German and English (as one would expect from Mr. Claus)


Note: above - Dad holding the "hot dog" so that she could better focus on her conversation. below - the last picture before the tragic fall (which occurred a solid 3 inches or so later).

We are loving Heidelberg, particularly during Christmas time.
