As my regular readers may recall, we was in Franfurt, Germany last weekend. And on Saturday, we went to the Old Town – Alt Stadt.
 
Here people were very busy preparing for the traditional Christmas Market, one of the best and largest in Germany
. 
Something for the Kids

Something for the grown ups like Glühwein will be served here.

The Official Opening Ceremony was hostet by Frankfurt's Lord Mayor Petra Roth
Wed., 24.11., 17:00 hrs, Römerberg stage
 
It was a chilly Saturday, so we ended up in a traditional German restaurant, Adolf Wagner. And had local seasonal traditional Geese for dinner. Here we are before the Dinner was served.
 
In this famous establishment they make their own appel wine.
Which is as well a local tradition in this part of Germany (Hessen).
It’s 85% appelwein and the rest is Selters (Sparkling Water). If you will go to this place in the evenings, you have to reserve. It’s very popular.

We went home to our dear family and guess what?  Have a great time.

Sunday and Summertime and Sunset

One hour lost, this Sunday Morning. But in half a year one hour will be regained. Back to Natural Time regarding the Sun. Even our Cats reacts. Every half year we "fix" the time.

If you know the name of the River, you can win a handwritten postcard from Norway.

Have a great week;))
