We walked down into The Loop, to Daley Center Plaza where the Christkindlmarket is held every year. There were more booths than in the past, but the damp weather must have kept a lot of people away because the crowds weren’t bad at all.
We have certain things we do every year on our downtown visits, one of which is to buy strudel. My wife got almond apricot. I got cherry. They were stuck together in the same box and some of hers got on mine, which was just wrong.
The crowd was light enough that we actually found a table to stand at while eating our dessert.
This couple was dressed as angels. Most of the time they stood still, but when somebody gave them money, they interacted with them. I wasn’t about to do that, so I took my photo from a distance.
