The End of Euro Trip 2011

The last stop on our European tour with Nate and Crista was Nürnberg (Nuremberg in English), home of the most famous Christmas Market in all of Germany.  Having been to Christmas Markets in 7 different cities and having heard so many great things from past Nuremberg Christmas Market visitors, my expectations were pretty high.  I thought the market was great; there were tons of stands and beautiful decorations, but I can't say that it was my favorite because it was just so packed with tourists.  Two million people visit the Christmas Market each year, and we arrived on a weekend, so I'm sure you can imagine how busy it was.  We still had a great time, shared a lot of laughs, and enjoyed the city.  The river flowing through the Old Town and the castle located nearby gives Nuremberg a medieval feel.  I thought it was a beautiful town.  I hope you enjoy our pictures and start planning your trip to visit us! :-)

This little area looked just like Epcot! :-)
