Rauma Christmas Market

Rauma Christmas Market


Rauma Christmas Market




Turns out Rauma does have a better Christmas market than I thought. Tom had to work today (Saturday), so I walked to town, and I just happened to run into the market going on alongside the canal. There was lots of the same old stuff: smoked salmon, breads and cakes, woven baskets, fur rugs and lots of gloves and mittens. I found a cute vest for Cali for Christmas -- bought it from a guy from Estonia.

Check out the fur rugs

What it looks like at 11 a.m.
We are getting less than six hours of daylight. It is really interesting how the sun sits so low on the horizon. I took this photo at 11 a.m. And, as you can tell from the market photos, no snow right now. We've had snow, but it keeps melting. I wonder if there's even going to be a white Christmas here this year.
