Aachen, Germany

I'm bad about posting photos, because it's kind of a pain in the butt. But I am trying to get to know iPhoto a little better so that I can post some of this stuff. These are from a recent trip to the Christmas market in Aachen, Germany. This is also the place where the great king of europe Charlemagne ruled from over 1000 years ago. We took a high speed train for a little over an hour to get there, and spent the day the day wandering around before coming back the same day.
