MarketFriday: A smell of Glühwein

in #marketfriday6 years ago (edited)

Happy Weekend folks!

Today is #MarketFriday initiated by @dswigle

  • I hope you will join and share different markets across the globe.

I've had the pleasure to visit three different Christmas markets last year.

  • it was a good help to get into the Christmas spirit - and we did get a white Christmas even to Espoo, so it all turned out quite well.

Vienna & Prater (close to my hotel)

More Vienna - I think they had tens of different corners, streets and plazas filled with thing to eat, drink or buy

Eating Hungarian langos (you can decide the toppings yourself (sweet or salty).

We did team lunch in the Benrath area

Here we finally had Glühwein - in pink mugs of course, since the Benrath castle is pink

Wow!!! You really did get around to all the markets, didn't you? What a spectacular bunch you captured! I can only imagine! If I close my eyes, it is so easy for me to conjure up the smells associated with Christmas in Europe! Oh! I have to admit, it is something I will never forget!

So, besides that amazing looking pizza, what did you buy?? Confess!!!

You just cannot beat the beauty, the tranquility, the magic of Christmas and here you brought it all back to me in January, just when it has gone away! So, I want to thank you. It is truly such a beautiful time of year! Helsinki is so very pretty - but, dressed up in her Christmas clothes, she is stunning! (I do like the sauna! LOL)

Thank you, Alf, @lundsten for sharing all these wonderful moments with us on #MarketFriday. It is appreciated that you spent so much time and effort gathering and posting for the Challenge! Thank you! So glad to see you again!

Until next time!
