I’ve always wanted to go to a European Christmas Market. It’s in my bucket list to visit one one of these years. Unfortunately, I don’t have the funds or time to buy a plane ticket on a whim. Thankfully, my hometown offers a traditional German Christmas Market (also known as Christkindlmarkt or “Christ Child Market” in German). Enter Christkindlmarkt at Sacramento Turn Verein.
As Cecilio and I gain more experience traveling, we learn so much along the way. We now know how to better prepare for our next trip. Even though we’ve been together for almost 11 years, this was the furthest trip we’ve taken together. And yes, that includes our honeymoon to Mexico.
I’m blessed to be living in California: nature abounds in different terrain here. We have beaches, mountains, forests, and deserts. Living in Sacramento means that Lake Tahoe is pretty much my backyard and we try to go as much as possible. However, we never considered going to Downieville until this past Friday.
As I turn 30 next month, I think about what I want to achieve in the next 10 years. Traveling the US and the world ranks high on my list.
