Weihnachtsmarkt in Erfurt

Here's a look at what is happening in Erfurt for Christmas. It's the Erfurt Weihnachtsmarkt! It is a huge market outside in front of the big cathedral in the middle of Erfurt. So many little goodies to find here.

As well as big: The Rieselrad, as it is known in German. Going to the top of the ferris wheel is really really cold. I did it once and about froze to death!

On the many avenues of the Wehnachtsmarkt

The huge pyramide. If you can tell what this is called in Englsih, let me know. I know we had them when I was young but always forgot. Oh well.

At the top of the Ferris Wheel. Great view of the Markt below!
