Back in Action

Hello family and friends! After a long hiatus I have re-entered the blogosphere. I apologize for my long absence but Berlin's Christmas markets seduced me away. I hope that you will forgive me for spending my long December nights sipping warm cups of Glühwein under twinkling Christmas lights instead of parked in front of my computer. In fact, I am in a little post-Christmas depression. The sun still sets at 4:00pm and it is still a windy frigid tundra but there are no wonderful Weihnachtmarkt to ease the winter doldrums. So both for your benefit and mine, here is a quick reminiscent romp through Germany's Christmas markets. Happy January!
