The French Connection
Cologne is situated near the French border and luckily there was a booth of French cheeses and other French delicacies.
The Man with the Cool Hat
Blessed to have some of the staff take a moment and pose for a photograph. I didn't have time to ask them to sign a model release, so that's why these photos are not for sale.
Calvados
Key ingredients for the amazingly delicious apple punch or Gluehwein.

Little German Houses
These aren't the cheap Christmas houses you can buy at CVS. These bad boys are the real deal. I think it's amazing the amount of work that goes into creating these beautiful products.
