It's that time of year again. That time when the weather changes for the worst, you have to wear layers of clothing to stay warm, and it's dark when you head to work and dark when you leave work! It's also the time of year for Glühwein and Christmas Markets! This year Barb had the chance to visit quite a few: Frankfurt, Mannheim, Worms, and Mainz. Although I think they're all the same, she thinks otherwise. They all sell fest food, they all have the same booths, and they all have Glühwein! For those that don't know, Glühwein is a concoction of red wine and spices, then heated up and drank! Some places are better than others, but all markets have tons of people gathered around the Glühwein stand! Ok, thinking about it, visiting the fests can be quite fun and gets you in the Christmas spirit!
2009 is coming to an end quickly. As I look back on the year, it was fun-filled and action-packed. Two big things happened this year; we got engaged and we had another exciting vacation. We enjoyed an amazing vacation in Uganda visiting the mountain gorillas and taking in numerous sites of the country.
As we look towards 2010, we'll be busy planning our wedding in Switzerland. We have a good start on the planning and hope the rest comes together smoothly. We'll also be making a trip to New York to visit my parents in the spring. It'll be a quick trip and hope to even scout a location for reception in NY. More to come on that in the new year.
From the two of us here in snowy Germany, we wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Wherever you are, we hope you have a wonderful holiday.
