Weekend Trip: Cologne, Germany Dec 1-2

Trying to catch up with blog posts... our first weekend trip out of the Netherlands on early December.  We went to Cologne for the first weekend of the Christmas Markets, great brats, fried dough, and something new we hadn't tried before, giant steamed dumplings covered in custard.  After that I wanted to lay down in the middle of the park.  We ran into one food stand selling "Dutch Treats" and I had fried fish nuggets.  I haven't actually scene those anywhere in Amsterdam... will have to look around.  Cologne also had several animatronic umpa bands that played traditional music and also great traditional German songs like Billy Jean by Micheal Jackson and Rocky Mountain High by John Denver... awesome!
