Friends, as you know I loves me a get-together so naturally as I make a few more friend here in Berlin, get-togethers are a happening. Luckily for me, I have met some people who like to take day trips, celebrate American holidays and find any excuse to share a pie. Here are a few snap shots from the past few months.
Above is a gathering at Katie's house in Charlottenburg (West Berlin) for Thanksgiving. Russ, the keen looking fellow in the back, brought bacon wrapped sausages to make his first Yanksgiving extra special. He was too busy posing for the picture to realise how serious this meal is and that you better dig in or forget getting any white meat.
At 8am we hopped on a train and headed to Dresden for the day to check out their famous Christmas Markets. These are popular throughout Germany during Advent ( December) and they are much more than just regular markets with fake snow on the stalls (although there is plenty of that too). The best part, aside from dried fruit dolls, is Glühwein (hot mulled wine) that comes in every flavour imaginable, including Apfel,, as seen above.
