Esslingen Middle Centuries Christmas Market

Christmas Markets are plentiful in Germany around this time of year. But this one is a bit special because it focuses on activities that would have at Christmas markets hundreds of years ago. Axe throwing, beer drinking, wooden ferris wheels, eating worst around a open hearth bonfire, etc,. I went with a work friend since my normal Christmas Market companions are currently in Boise.
