Christmas Adventures: Aachen

After Essen it was on to Aachen where we would spend the night

It was a short walk from where we were staying to the Christmas Market

The Archeological Showcase in Elisengarten

The Christmas Market was really busy! Not as bad as Leipzig, but not great. We were able to mask up and wander through, but it was the last night so most of the stands had everything on sale and people were going crazy for them! One thing there was a lot of was Aachener Printen cookies. They didn't have any signs that said they were vegan and the bags didn't have ingredients so I assumed they weren't for me (and the people were so busy I would have had to wait forever to ask)

A bit of a wander through town on the way back to our place

Once we got home I looked up the Aachener Printen to see if there were vegan ones available anywhere...and found the base is actually vegan! The only non-vegan ones were the milk or white chocolate-covered ones so we had to go out and get some to try! They were so good. Spiced cookies with anis flavor. Mmmm I wish I had some right now.

This was just a quick stop overnight again, but it was fun. I would definitely come back to Aachen to see what else there is to see in the city (and get more cookies!)

Bisenthaler Becken Hike Jan 2024

Fall is here!

So not a whole lot has happened since I last posted. On our anniversary we were going to go on the boat tour of Berlin, but it was rainy and overcast so we decided to wait for a nice sunny day to do that. We had a few errands to run in the morning and then Raymond said about going to a museum. I saw the natural history museum and since I loved the one in Denver we decided to go there. You walk into this big room with lots of fossils and Dinosaurs! They didn't have a lot of things - this was the main room and is maim attraction of the museum. It was a tiny place, and they were doing renovations on a lot of the other exhibits. Apparently it is famous for having the largest dinosaur skeleton in the world! They also had these fun viewfinder things you could look through and if you point it at a dinosaur it would show this animation that filled them in and then showed them running around or eating or whatever. I thought it was fun. There was also a large room of rocks and m...
