Our first Christmas Markets today - Cologne, Germany. This city is famous for its magnificent cathedral, but even that is upstaged by the locals and tourists this time of year by the wonderful maze of "cottage" like booths that make up the Christmas Markets. There are numerous little set up villages throughout the city featuring delectible temptations, including mulled wine and many typical German foods. After a walking tour with our trip leader we explored on our own for the afternoon, lunching on brats, shopping, taking pictures and people watching.
