i needed a winter coat and boots, and after much searching here in NL, we decided to go to Cologne where i was *very* happy to find both. there is much more selection there, as i had heard from other expats.
we stayed overnight at Hotel Ilona, about a 40 min drive from Cologne (which i highly recommend). it was *spotless* and i was delighted to find tea waiting for us, which i had with a orange/cream cake i had bought that afternoon at a bakery while we watched a delightfully cheesy German Christmas special.
the next day we hit 3 of the 7 (i think) markets in Cologne - the one at the Cathedral (Dom), the Old Market, and the Angel market. we liked the Old Town one best. it had more character and charm than the others. and we had potato noodles with saurkraut and sour cream and spiced apple cider there.
last weekend we went to the market in Maastricht:
happy holidays to you and yours!

LBFP is an *AWESOME* photographer!!! my very very favorite pic is the one with the cathedral (or big church) in the background, xmas tree in the foreground, and lines of lights going off the top of the pic like the rays around a saint's head. (that might be next year's xmas card there, i think?!) :)
merry merry MERRRRRRY (belated) christmas to ya!!!!!!!
