Denver Christkindl Market

As part of exposing us to his German culture, Steffen has been talking our ears off about this "German Christmas Market" in Denver. We figured he wanted us to go see it.

So, on Saturday, we made plans to go visit this so called Denver Christkindl Market. Veronica and Mateo who were spending the day with us, went with us as well. It was a bitterly cold day and since we weren't too prepared, we had to bundle Tyler up in whatever we had. The end result : The homeless kid look!


Tyler all bundled up to face the harsh cold!

Anyways, after braving the harsh wintery weather, we had to laugh at Steffen's market which consisted of a few tents put together!! It did have some interesting food stalls. Unfortunately, we had already made plans to go to Los Cabos II for some Peruvian food, so i didn't get to try any "authentic" German food. We did have some Gluhwein which means Wine with Spices while we warmed up in the tent.

OK, so it wasn't the best Weihnachtsmarkt but we're not exactly in Germany either. At least there was a carousel for Tyler. Carousel makes up for anything! (i love carousels if you can't already guess).

Just to make sure we didn't have the wrong impression, Steffen had sent me a picture of what a real Weihnachtsmarkt would look like.. so here it is..

A real one..
