| Dating back to the early 1600's, |
| millions of people visit the Christkindlesmarkt (a Christmas market) |
| held in Nuremberg, Germany every year. |
| We had to join in |
| on this party. |
| And while many ward off the cold outdoor air with the traditional Glühwein (mulled wine) and other delicious warm delicacies (below), |
| we promised our daughter long before we left the house that -- yes, of course -- if she could find it, then she could eat pink ice cream. She insisted on having pink ice cream. |
| Given our winter-like weather, we just assumed she wouldn't find any. |
