Christmas markets, St. Nicolas Tag and Baby fish

Today Bill and I set out to visit Rothenburg, an pretty med-evil age town here that has a nice Christmas market. We arrived there around 1pm, only to discover we travelled to Rothenberg, not Rothenburg. The funniest part was Bill thought he'd be funny as we came into the town and try to scare me by asking if I had navigated to the correct town. LOL. Oh well, we weren't too far from Heidelberg, so we walked around the downtown area and Christmas market there and had a nice dinner too.

Saturday was St. Nicolas Tag here in Germany, the day were all German children put their shoes out the night before and hope for sweeties and small toys from St. Nicolas. Bad children receive switches. Bill got some chocolate truffles and William received an assortment of candies, a 4d Dinosaur puzzle, and a couple of bouncing balls.

Baby fishies! Today when we arrived at Bill's house and fed the starving fishies, we discovered baby fishies! Lots of baby fishies! Bill hurriedly improvized a glass divider for the fish tank to prevent any possible fish food accidents with the larger fish. Especially a larger white fish that is quite aggressive to the other fish. All three of us delighted in observing the new fishies and speculating which fish had the babies. We think it was the Molly fish - she looked pregnant for a long time and now she doesn't look pregnant anymore. And the new fishies are little black things, so it's possible. We'll know for sure in a few days probably. Posted by Jinglelady at December 7, 2003 12:37 AM | Previous Blog | TrackBack
