next up on our Germany adventure--the Christmas Markets!!!!  we went to four different cities Christmarkts-- Nuremberg, Ansbach, Dinklesbuhl, and Rothenburg!  I bought myself a Pyramide at the Nuremberg Markt--probably the most famous one though some of the others are older.    there are documents of Christmarkts in Nuremberg going back to the 1400s.  Rothenburg dates from even earlier It's just a big outdoor shopping extravaganza--but with specialty food and GLUWEIN!!!!  Each city/region has their own special  wurst recipe going back through medieval times--best Wurst-- Nuremburger Wurstchen!!!!  yummy!

more pics from Germany.  These are from Dinklesbuhl, another walled medieval town.  the name means dinkles hill  dinkles was apparently the name of a farmer in the far distant past.
