Going to the Christkindl Market today was on the top of my to-do list this morning. While the items were pricey, it was a neat little village they set up. The idea is that it's a market one would find in Germany this time of year. They celebrate Christmas just like we do with the emphasis on Christ or in their words, the Christ kind. It's a fascinating story, which you can read here.
The market Denver set up downtown was quaint and filled with delicious smells. As soon as I saw it, I was glad I found out about this a month ago. I wish I were rich as most items were above $15 and the one I really wanted was $80. As an AmeriCorps member, that just wasn't going to work. When I am CEO, YES! However, I did get to have a cinnamon German pretzel! So good! Those who know of my addiction to cinnamon are probably laughing. I don't care. I LOVE CINNAMON!
The market is on the corner of the infamous 16th Street Mall and the city outdid themselves decorating as you can see below. I love my new city and I can't wait to continue exploring!
