Maastricht Christmas Market

Last weekend we went with Marita and Christian to Maastricht to their Winter Wonderland. We had never been there and neither had Marita and Christian so it was an adventure for all of us. We drive through Maastricht when we go to the Antiques market in Belgium but we have never stopped there. It turns out that it is a really nice town, with lots of little shops and cobblestone streets (which is common for Europe). The actual Christmas market wasn’t that big, the area was more geared towards kids. There was a huge Ferris wheel and an ice skating rink. There was also lots of food especially sweets. Luke, Christian and I rode the Ferris wheel and were able to get some good pictures. Then we just walked around Marita and I tried to talk the guys into ice skating but the refused, so we will just wait until Munich then they shall skate!
We stayed at the market for about an hour or so. Then we headed back towards home and to dinner! We ended up stopping at a restaurant in Waldenrath that was so good! I rarely ever eat everything I get but even Luke was surprised that I ate everything and had desert, it was that good!
