German Christmas Markets

for a small bit of germany in the usa it is new ulm mn..you still hear german conversations at times..there was considerably much more of that about40 years ago...strong german heritage there...

Well, fast food restaurants are plentiful enough. Heidelberg has four McDonalds, two Pizza Huts, and several others. Also mom & pop style joints (pizza to bratwurst) nearly everywhere.

Regardless, Christmas here is indeed special. There is also something. This year, in the field behind our house, neighbor's daughter and her girlfriend (hardly know either) wrote us (in English) a giant Christmas greetings in the snow. Saw it (to our surprise) when we opened the window blinds.

and no deadly wildlife either.

I suppose you have a point there. Even the ones I found weren't anywhere near the places I went to in Germany.

;-) They are around.....but it's like an Easter egg hunt!

If you ever come to LA you should try the red loin tavern. their food is almost authentic and they have a great selection of German beers

Thanks! Do you mean Red Lion? Red Loin sounds pretty bad! lol. If you ever come to Tampa Bay, there is one called Castle Restaurant, which is excellent too. The family is from Hamburg.

you're right, I meant to say Lion, heh.

Happy Holidays P47RICK!

thanks, to you too.
