My next photos are actually from Italy, but since it is Christmas, I thought I would put those pictures up. Plus I am too lazy to go through hundreds of pictures.
First snow in Graz in October. You can see it on the mountain. I got out a little late in the day to really see it.
Klagenfurt Adventmarkt
View from Villach
Krampus- und Perchtenlauf - Demon-like creatures, who are the companions of Santa Claus. For those who have been naughty this year, there are whippings. Quite persuasive if you ask me. Much better than. No presents this year. Yeah. Right.
Christmas Market in Vienna. Frohe Weihnachten means Merry Christmas.
Vienna, Church next to the hostel, at which I stayed.
Hellbrunn Christmas Market, Salzburg
I wouldn't want those trick fountains to go off this day.
The grounds were open. I don't remember walking around them last time, but that isn't saying much.
Reindeer charity
Downtown Salzburg. University Cathedral and the Christmas Market.
Herzlich Willkommen means Hearty Welcome.
In front of the church this time. I can't help but think of the Louvre with that glass structure. It covers a statue.
Rathaus in Graz. That is the biggest tree that I have seen anywhere. Apparently Graz is famous for it every year. It stands right by one of the many Christmas markets here.
Krippen Weg means Manger Way, which is right across the street from the entrance to the ice sculpture below.
This ice sculpture changed every time I saw it. December is sometimes too mild. The previous pieces are hidden behind.
Then I made a cake. I will never use that recipe for buttercream frosting again. For those of you who speak German, I know Weihnacht is missing the -en. There wasn't enough room.
This is what happened afterwards. I though it was pretty funny. Plus my Christmas present from Sha and Yiru.
