Yesterday we went to explore the Christmas market in Heidelberg. While we bought a lot more things in Heidelberg than we did in Deidesheim I was a little disappointed in the Heidelberg market. I thought it would be bigger and have more stalls with things to buy. It was very spread out over about 3 miles (Heidelberg is a big place and has an enormous shopping/pedestrian zone) with a few booths here and there and most of the booths were selling food instead of crafts. I'm sure they spread out the market on purpose so you have to walk by all the stores in Heidelberg and be tempted to shop at them.
Coming into the main square in Heidelberg, there's a big Christmas pyramid all lit up and selling Glühwein:
A shot of the top of it:
And the Glühwein mugs they sold there had hearts for handles! My favorite mugs so far:
I thought this booth was cute:
Chocolate tools!
Little cars, cell phones, clothespins, wrenches, all made out of chocolate! No we didn't buy any but we should have:
We bought one of these stars (in orange of course) to hang in our window:
We also bought one of these little handmade houses/churches with tealights in them. I wanted to buy 2 but the smallest ones are almost 30 euros!!
Maybe next year we'll add a house to our little church:
One of the meat stands. Martin got one of the long sausages in the big sausage pile in this picture. I assume it was good he ate it so fast I didn't even get a bite:
