Ida love these sticks to eat. They are like a giant corn puffToday we drove to Oldenburg to see where Dennis had gone to college and to visit the old town and Christmas market. When we arrived, we first drove around the campus and he pointed out buildings where he studied and places where he lived. He also pointed out places that he had told us stories about.
Afterwards we drove to the old town. It was not as old as Bremen (or at least didn’t seem as old) but it was huge. All the narrow streets had hanging Christmas lights, and we knew it would be beautiful at night. We strolled the many avenues and then stopped at a place they like to eat.
After eating, we went through more of the old town and we heard a street musician. Emil was fascinated by the father (playing the guitar) and son (playing a box as a drum). He was enthralled. We gave him coins to throw into the case for a tip. We went in a couple of stores but eventually made it to the Christmas market. Most markets open next week so we were happy that this one was open.

walking around the old town on the buildings made it very idyllic and I felt like I was in a fairy tale. I expected the market to be a lot of crafts, but it’s mostly food items and Christmas crafts. There were some rides and of course Emil wanted to ride them all. Susan, Dennis, Emil and I rode the small ferris wheel together. We got some nice pictures from up above. Dennis bought us a cup of the Christmas drink a hot spice wine. It was good but more importantly, it was warm. We had another wonderful day.
