Hot Honey Wine

Well, we got our first Babysitter (named Zuzanna - the most common name here) and went out to the Christmas Market with our neighbors, the Earls.  After some sips of Hurska, we rode the tram down so that we could partake in all of merry-ment!

When we got there, we actually knew one of the other couples that we were meeting.  They have two kids at our school and in Boy Scouts.  They said to us, "David said he was brining some American friends."  Hahaha...guess we're the "American friends" now.  And, it really isn't that big of a town - so, it turns out you see someone you know a lot.  

The lights were very pretty and the atmosphere was just so nice.  We'll take the kids back to see it and have some market food - just as soon as it is not too cold!  We were able to delay the feeling of cold a bit by having some Hot Honey Wine (Medovina).  And, after drinking a few of those, we felt the need to eat a bit.  Brian had one of his favorites - a chicken sandwhich - Ciganska Peciencka.  And I, of course, had a potato crepe - Lokse - filled with a banana and chocolate and topped with caramel.  Wonderful!!

After everyone got too cold, we went to a bar down the street that wasn't too crowded - we were lucky with our timing and got a table big enough for our group as another group was leaving.  We stayed a bit longer and then came home to relieve our sitter at about 23:00.  Not too bad.  I was even able to recruit Ann (the other mom from school) to do Karate with me!
