December 22-- Advent at ADAFT 2014!

Our Christmas trip to Hamburg continues to delight!

The Rathaus and the historic Christmas market in front of it. We bought some marzipan here

C got a finger puppet "moo"

The fairy tale ships on the lake

Can you spot the Danish Christmas wishes?

Markets and lights across the lake. There's a big tree in the middle of it!

Germans really know how to deal with the darkest time of year!

December 20-- Advent at ADAFT 2014!

We're in Hamburg! It's famous for its Christmas celebrations, especially it's numerous and impressive Christmas markets. So, we decided to see for ourselves. It's not a very long trip by train - only about 4.5 hours from Aarhus. C was a champion traveler, and we've had a great time so far.

Here's the sight that greeted us as we left the main train station:

How German! And here are some decorations. Germans invented the Christmas tree, you know.

We found a carousel! It was C's first experience on such a contraption. And she loved it! So much!
