christkindl market, kitchener ontario 1

YAY !  i made it this year !  last year, the weather was so bad all the time, it was discouraging to try to go anywhere!  it was crisp and cold this year, but the roads were clean and dry
this is a quote from the website
"Willkommen! Welcome! We invite you to the sights, sounds and tastes of Christmas. Visit Canada's original Christkindl Market and relive a centuries-old tradition. Our festival of German Christmas is a 4-day festival, with over 70 vendors and free entertainment. " http://www.christkindl.ca/

this was a nice little touch of poochiness.  these are small charms.  the ones i liked are the ones with album covers ...very cool.  im going to email them and see if they have a david bowie one they can send me!!

this guy had a monkey puppet on his hand and the machine was sort of like carnival music !
