Today marks the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year. In March I visited Newgrange, along with 4 other fantastic travelers and we got to experience the inner chamber. It must truly be amazing to see it today!

The waters of the "shallow seas" of the Bahamas aren't that far away. Cruises visit Nassau throughout the year or you can stay at one of the fabulous hotels located in the city, like Atlantis, Baha Mar or Margaritaville. Or use Nassau as a jumping off point to visit the "Out Islands" of the Bahamas, like Eleuthera, Abaco, Cat Island, Exumas, Andros. . .

Christmas Markets (Weihnachtsmärkte)
During Advent season the historic city centers of every major German city light up with Christmas markets, known as Weihnachtsmärkte. Holiday lights and decorations captivate locals and tourists alike, and entice them to stroll among the vendors of local arts and crafts and also plenty of food! The Christmas market tradition dates back to the 15th century. Today there are over 2,500 Christmas markets across Germany that invite visitors to enter the festive mood. Markets commonly feature a nativity scene, and vendors offer a wide variety of gifts, including many that are still handcrafted. You can also find a mouthwatering array of foods like grilled sausages, fried fish on a fresh bread roll (Backfisch), and sautéed mushrooms. For dessert there is an unending variety of specialty sweets, confections and baked goods.

Note that Christmas Markets are also found in other European countries as well as in some US cities.

And of course, a great way to see them is on a river cruise.
