Christmas markets











Part of the reason that we went to Prague in December was to check out their Christmas market. We were disappointed with the quality of merchandise (and didn't buy much) but I loved the atmosphere of the markets. The merchandise looked mass produced (except for the black smiths). However, we still enjoyed wandering around drinking the mulled wine and eating the slozem, a sweet pastry made on a roll over an open flame.

The market also had a stage where people performed. Sometimes there were carolers, other times there were other performers. Most of the time they were entertaining. Some of the churches also had people singing and all around, the market had a really good "buzz" to it. The atmosphere was the best of the three markets that we've gone to.
