Enchanting!

As brave Mitzi was riding back to the hotel from the Christmas Market on the Sbahn 8, I was thinking that I needed a word to describe the amazing visit to the Christmas Market. Thank you Tim for giving me the perfect descriptive word...enchanting! I was like a child, smiling in wonder at all of the delights for the senses! The beauty of the night filled with lights and carousels and delicious scents of new foods and carolers and the massive lit tree in the square and...and...and! Yes this side trip to Frankfurt for a day at the famous Christmas Market was worth it!

If only I could have eaten more, so many delectable foods I wanted to try! I guess there just has to be a next time! And I won't be eating a big German hotel breakfast first! My favorites, actually the only things I tasted, were the marshmallow cream çupcake looking things, and the best by far was the stack of delicious potato pancakes! I've not had anything so much like my mom's that I grew up on, for the 20 years since she has died! Absolutely incredible! And I tried 2 dipping sauces and it would be hard to pick my favorite. There was a garlic one that had a delicious 'bite' to it and an herbed one that the owner told me was a local Frankfurt one, both delicious!

And now with a couple of polar bear souvenirs from this visit and a couple of sweet treats to share with Terry and Peter on the ship tomorrow, I am repacking for my trip onward to Barcelona in the morning. Tunisia and stepping on my final continent is only a couple of days away! Ciao for now! (I'd say auweid...., but have no idea how to spell it!
