Christkindlmarket in Chicago 2008





The Daley Plaza, looking down Washington Boulevard



Horse and carriage on Washington Blvd.



At sunset, the millions of white lights adorning the trees in Daley Plaza begin to appear



One of the many food stands--this one sold flaky strudel filled with hot fruit or cheese. Danke schon--bitte!



Enjoying some warm gluhwein



Despite all the delicious food around the market, the pigeons are more interested in staying warm!



Wheelchairs and strollers--a good way to cut through the crowds






Everyone is dressed for the occasion--with temperatures in the teens and low 20's--and no one is complaining about the cold (except us "Tennesseans")!
