Kaiserslautern Christmas Market

If you're looking for a Christmas Market nearby Ramstein AB the K-Town Christmas Market is a pretty nice one. We went a couple of times because it was so convenient and a makes for a nice afternoon out.
This time we met up with our friend's The Coffman's (Adam, Liz and Aidan).

These Santas sang Christmas songs in English and German
The boys wanted to ride this Ferris wheel over and over again...never mind that it was pretty cold...

Strasbourg Christmas Market (France)

I was asked by my neighbor (and friend) Tara if I'd like to go on the Strasbourg Christmas Market Tour through RTT. SURE!! Sounds like a great time to me!

On the bus I met Julie, Heather and Jamie...all cool chicks. Let's face it...as soon as I found out Jamie was from Minnesota (don't worry...she's a Packer fan) and recently owned a house in Hudson, WI...I knew it was going to be a fun day :-)

It was a little rainy but we made the best of it! What a neat city. The bus dropped us off in a bus area outside of town and we took a 5 minute train ride into the market area.

There was a second market outside the Notre Dame Cathedral. It's a "Must-See"...especially at Christmas time. There were children inside singing, numerous Nativity scenes, people lighting candles...awesome!

The city streets were decorated...everywhere you looked there was a feeling of Christmas

I came home with a belly full of pastries and gluwein, some new friends and these beautiful candles...

Hope to get together with these ladies again soon. We had a great time. BTW, Jamie has a super cute blog with great ideas...check it out here: DelightfullyCoconuts
