After visiting Miltenberg we went over to Michelstadt. We were traveling with the Garbers and later this evening we met two other missionary couples here. That made the trip really fun.
The Christmas Market in Michelstadt is held in the old town. We entered through an old passageway. Once inside, the maret area looped around this part of the old town, mingled with the shops there, which makes it great for the local merchants. All the shops were open and welcome business.
Here’s the entrance to the old city:
Oh my gosh, this is one of the first things greeting us–potato spirals. Elder Garber ordered one and it was killer good!!
Take a look at these 2-foot long sausages!
Michelstadt has a woodworking school and has a long history of woodworkers. Some of their work was highlighted in the Christmas market.
Hot cinnamon rolls! Their stall was in front of the bakery where they were made.
This is what we had for our dinner–John’s favorite, Swiss Raclette, which is Raclette cheese melted under a flame, then scraped into a dish filled with boiled potatoes, pearl onions and little pickles. It was SO SO SO good! (except for the onions, I’ll pass on those)!
We topped off the Raclette with a crepe.
We ran into a family from the Michelstadt Branch!
The candied nuts smell So Good!
We ran into the Ortons and Sandburgs. Today is Debbie Orton’s birthday!
What a really fun day.
