Vienna Christmas Markets

 A few weeks ago, the Gluhwein Gang reunited and headed to the Christmas Markets,
two Texans, four Canadians, a Scot, a Brit, a Swede and an Irish lass.

I'll confess that I wasn't really in Travel Blogger mode.
I was much more interested in eating, drinking and making merry.
The weekend went by way too fast but we squeezed in a lot of fun and laughter.

One of our two stops was Vienna, Austria.
Vienna is absolutely gorgeous, such an elegant and stylish city.
I want to go back and spend some more time this summer.

Check out this post from fellow gang member and my sweet friend, Erin.
She's done a much better job of covering the Vienna Christmas markets.

I didn't take nearly as many photos as usual, but here are some of Vienna and the markets.

 Matthew doesn't really like gluhwein but in Vienna we found a booth
selling gluhwein spiked with Jack Daniels.  Suddenly he was a big fan.

We also spent a day in Bratislava.  I'll share some of those photos tomorrow.

I hope you are all having a nice run up to Christmas.
I haven't done any shopping yet!
I'm heading to Canterbury with a few girlfriends tomorrow to remedy that.


Do you like gluhwien?  How do you feel about Jack Daniels?
