Last weekend, we took a trip to Cologne, Germany to explore their legendary Christmas markets. The city was packed with tourists feasting on potato pancakes, pretzels, and every kind of wurst imaginable. (As you can see from the photos, we got into the holiday spirit too...yum!) Cologne's eight or so markets, each with its own personality and signature glühwein mug, feature craftsmen peddling handmade goods like pottery, jewelry, candles, candy, etc. We had a great time shopping for family and friends with mugs of mulled wine in hand--the perfect holiday weekend!
On the morning train to Cologne...looking forward to some mulled wine!

Pretzels the size of your head.
Mushrooms cooked with red wine and onions then topped with a garlicky cream sauce. Delicious!
