Last weekend, Heimlich and I went to the Akron Christkindl Market [lock3live.com]. It's kind of a smaller version of a Christkindlmarkt (Christmas Market) that you would find in Austria or southern Germany.
At the Akron event, there are bona fide Germans from Chemnitz, Germany running all of the huts (selling Christmas-y items) and food stands (so the food is authentic-tasting). The food (you know, the most important thing on any agenda for me) was great! We had a good time, it was very reminiscent of our visits to the Christkindlmarkt in Salzburg (see pictures below):


The Akron Christkindl Market will be open through the end of December.
Note to the organizers: it will be easier to find your website if you call the event a Christkindlmarkt (the actual German name), instead of a Christkindl Market (where only half of the word is translated). I would have never thought to have googled for a word that is half translated into English, and if you search for "Christkindlmarkt Akron", your website doesn't come up.

The other week, I mentioned that I had been in Holland. My favorite part about traveling has to be the food. One of the places that we ate was a restaurant called "Open", which was built on an old railway bridge.
