Aachen and Volkenburg Christmas Markets


Aachen, Germany was magnificently decorated for christmas. I went to visit Susanne and Dieter family friends who are always so hospitable. We spent the evening in Aachen where I got to try glhuwin (hot wine) a festive european drink, bratwurst, chocolates, and experience the music and lights of German Christmas Markets.



The following day we went to Volkenburg, Holland where the markets are inside the caves. Years ago the Jews hid inside the caves in hiding and today they are used as huge Christmas Markets. It was nice though because it was so cold out, once you got inside you didn't feel a thing. We spent hours inside, it was neat.
