Nuremburg, Germany

Well, here it is everyone - my last European trip of 2008. *tear* I had a fabulous weekend in Germany with my friends the Wildes. You'll recall that they are my friends who I met through a mutual friend when I moved here and they have been SO good to me. Sarah regularly cooks me fantastic meals and we shop and relax and go to church together. The Wildes let me stay with them when I was homeless for a week in February and they have never stopped being amazing to me. In fact, tonight we are going to have a quick Christmas get-together so I can see their decorated apartment and try minced pies for the first time!

Anyway, last weekend Sam, Sarah and I went down to Nuremburg, Germany to visit the Christmas Market there. Germany (and some surrounding countries) are famous for their Christmas markets and Nuremburg came highly recommended. There are many traditional German gifts and food items and we just wandered around for hours soaking it all in. And stimulating the European economy, of course! I'm so excited to give my family the gifts I bought! Enjoy the pictures of the market and the town.

I head home on Saturday for 4 weeks in the States to work and celebrate the holidays. I have been busy this week with packing and organizing for that trip. While I'm there I'll post some about my Christmas festivities in London as well as things I'm doing at home. Plus, I've been thinking of a 2008 year in review with a few select pictures (that you've already seen)...stay tuned!
