A couple of weeks ago, I know it's been a bit since I've updated things, a couple of my teammates and myself went down to the Old Town square to hang out at the Christmas market. One thing that Europe knows how to do well is Christmas markets. The ones in Germany are fantastic and Prague has a pretty good thing going on as well. We were able to spend some time down there just looking around at all the little shops set up for the occasion along with eating some of the Czech traditional food that they have for Christmas. The weather was really nice as it was only 0C so it was perfect to be outside drinking svarak, which is hot mulled wine and eating kolbasa's. They also have this traditional pastry/cinnamon bun type of dessert that they bake over a fire called trdlenik, so I was pretty excited to eat that. I'm pretty sure I blogged about it this time last year. All in all a great afternoon/evening hanging out with the girls and getting in the Christmas mood!

More stalls...the big roll thing that you see hanging from one of the stalls is called a trdelnik - my favorite!
The huge Christmas tree in the square - it's actually real!
