Heidelberg Weihnachtsmarkt

If I didn't make it clear enough from my August post, Heidelberg is a great German city. While in the city for a military ball (always a great time!), we had the opportunity to see the city in a different light - figuratively and literally since daylight is now limited to 8 hours compared to 15 hours in August!
Heidelberg covered in snow is beautiful.  Unlike the other Christmas markets we have been to so far, Heidelberg had several small markets spread across the city. There is one long pedestrian-only street spanning the Altstadt, which was the perfect setup for a Glühwein (or three) in between the Christmas stands and the other great stores that line the Hauptstraße.
We had a great Saturday afternoon strolling through Heidelberg - the perfect setting for serious Christmas shopping of all kinds!
