Saint Patrick's Day we awoke to find a foot and a half of fresh white powdery snow while more kept falling from the dark grey sky. Ugh! I am so annoyed with the cold snow. At first Justin and I planned on spending the day relaxing in bed watching movies and drinking Guinness but around 2:00pm we were bored and decided to brave the weather and head 30 minutes down the road to St. Wendel where the local Easter Market was being held. Lucky for us the snow plows had come through and the roads were manageable.
St. Wendel is a quaint little town with a cathedral in the center of the town. The Easter Market was set up around the cathedral and despite the cold now rainy weather the market was full of people. Close to 40 stands were set up, vendors were selling easter crafts, wine, food such as crepes or sausage and even a small petting zoo.

We bought a tiny carved rabbit trinket to add to our collection and ended our shopping at the "honey" stand. The honey was being sold by a local vendor and bee farmer. He let us try the different flavors and we settled on buying a jar of fresh wild honey. It was fantastic! If at all possible I am only buying local honey from now on. Once I was thoroughly soaked through my jacket, quite cold and full of
brotwurst and
gluhwein we headed back home to defrost.
