The first day we arrived in Germany we drove up to Freiburg for the Kris Kindle Mart. It's possible we ate a little too much a little too fast, but when at a Kris Kindle Mart in Freiburg, Germany...why not?
The one exception I will make for pork....wurst.
Gluehwein!! (Vin Chaud)
Fried cauliflower with cream sauce and cherry dumpling with vanilla sauce....yes please.
For some reason there is a Coastal Redwood Tree planted infront of the church in Freiburg so of course we had to visit it and take a picture with it (which proved to be more difficult than anticipated)
The day we drove home from Bergun we stopped by Basel to hit up its Kris Kindle Mart. After walking around the market/downtown/Rathaus area Ben and I snuck up to the Munster Church and caught part of an evening service. Seeing the church again reminded me of being in Basel with a group of our Mount Hermon friends back in 2002. Good times.
Christmas tree in front of the lovely Rathaus
After Christmas we drove over to Colmar in France. This was my favorite market (and not only because I got to converse in French :). Colmar is straight out of a storybook. And let's face it, it's France so the food's awesome, the people are charming, the children are adorable and the wine is uber cheap (wish we could have taken more advantage of this last detail).
Gauffre au Nutella (Nutella waffle!!)
Brought me back to my Grenoble days
This is the landmark building in Colmar...it's hard to tell from the picture but it is very unique and beautiful.
This building contained some of my favorite French things such as....

Buche de Noel, Alsace style
Eclair au chocolat
Very thankful for the chance to spend some time in my favorite country with mon amour
