The Christmas Market at Heidelberg

On Saturday, our new friends took us to the Christmas Market at Heidelberg. We had an awesome time. We made sure that we all dressed really warm-lots of layers for everyone! I had on 4 shirts and a jacket, and I wore tights and under armor pants under my jeans. Layers, layers, layers! The Christmas Market is sort of like the Seafood Festival or the Mullet Festival, only it is all about Christmas! They have little wooden huts set up and they sell all kinds of things, gifts and food. We had lunch at Hard Rock Cafe, let me tell you, it is nothing like the one in Destin LOL! "American food" does not taste at all american here! Even the pepsi tastes different. Eurpeans don't add sugar to everything like we do. We ordered chips and salsa and the salsa was like ketchup with some kind of spicy seasoning in it. Eating off base will definitely take a little getting used to! For supper we had these things called Doner Kabobs-they were AWESOME! They have this big thing of pork that they do on a rotisserie kind of thing, then they slice it off and put it in a bread pocket, sort of like a pita, mine had all kinds of veggies in it, cabbage, cucumber, onions, Bo's of course had meat and cheese LOL! They were so good-that is something we will definitely be eating again! Funny thing is I don't even think they are German, I think they are a Turkish thing. Oh well, German...Turkish..whatever..we will be having more!
