A Thanksgiving in Berlin
Our first Thanksgiving in Germany. We celebrated with another family who also arrived this summer. All ingredients could be found locally. Except for the turkey! That was bought through a special supplier who ships frozen birds from the US. All in all, a great celebration...
German Christmas Markets
The Christmas markets in Berlin are in full swing! There are over 90 Christmas markets happening throughout the city. This weekend, we were able to visit two. Some are more focused on the sale of handicrafts while others are more food focused. Both offer lots of opportunities for hot drinks such as hot chocolate, cider and Gluwein (mulled wine), a German favorite.

Berliner Dom (Cathedral)
Laura and I spent a wonderful evening at a classical music concert performed at the Berliner Dom. The Dom (German word for cathedral) is located in the middle of the city. It is a monumental structure completed in 1905. The concert was Felix Mendelssohn's "Song of Praise" and was played in commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation (which was October 31st). There was a full orchestra and choir which filled the inside dome with beautiful music. A night to remember!
