But Aachen is so beautiful and there's Printen everywhere. We go to the Christmas market in Düsseldorf almost every year. It's only a bit over an hour away and great. I didn't realize you were in Düsseldorf or I forgot. We're going to try the Dutch version this year too, in Valkensburg. One of our daughters is here with her husband so they wanted to compare. (We all know that Christmas in the Netherlands is not as lovely as Christmas in Germany, but they wanted to check it out.)
