The Christmas Village in Rothenburg

On our first trip into Bavaria we visited the town of Rothenburg, which has the famous "Christmas Village" shop that is open year around. The kids loved it there, but it filled up really fast with tourists (it was telling that all of the signs were in English and Japanese). Outside was a really charming medieval walled city which I would have liked to have explored more if it hadn't been so damn COLD. At least I got to duck into a restaurant to warm up and get a shot of Iria posing in front of a gun and antler backdrop (that is not likely to happen again anytime soon).
