Out & About in the Pfalz

Join us on a taste adventure as we have an Eritrea Safari while never leaving Kaiserslautern!

We have ten places reserved at the Safari Restaurant at 6:30 pm. I need to confirm a few days in advance, so please RSVP by the 19th. Because seats are limited, please only RSVP if you intend to come.

You can check out their website and menu (with Veggie/Vegan selections) here:

If seats get booked out early, I will try to get some more places.

I realized the Christmas Market is opening this day, so we can go over and have a Glühwein if any wants.

Last, but not least! I’ll buy desert (or a Glühwein) for the first person who can tell me what the US & Eritrea have in common that no other country in the world has.

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

🇩🇪 Weihnachtsmarkt-Meetup in Kaiserslautern

Die Adventszeit steht vor der Tür, und was wäre sie ohne einen Besuch auf dem Weihnachtsmarkt? Wir laden euch herzlich ein, gemeinsam in die festliche Stimmung einzutauchen, Glühwein oder Kinderpunsch zu trinken und die vielen Leckereien zu probieren. Egal, ob ihr neu seid oder schon länger dabei – alle sind willkommen!

Wir treffen uns am Weihnachtsmarkt in Kaiserslautern um 19 Uhr an der Stiftskirche. Den genauen Treffpunkt teilen wir kurz vorher mit. Wir richten auch eine WhatsApp-Gruppe ein, damit wir uns gut absprechen können. Wer kein WhatsApp hat und uns am Tag des Events nicht direkt findet, kann mir gerne eine private Nachricht schicken.

Wir freuen uns auf einen stimmungsvollen Abend mit euch und darauf, gemeinsam den Start in die Adventszeit zu feiern!

🇺🇸 Christmas Market Meetup in Kaiserslautern

The holiday season is just around the corner, and that means Christmas markets are back! Join us for a cozy evening at the Kaiserslautern Christmas Market to kick off the festive season together. We’ll enjoy hot mulled wine (Glühwein) or non-alcoholic punch and sample holiday treats along the way. Everyone is welcome, whether you’re new or a regular!

We’ll meet at 7:00 pm by Stiftskirche. The exact location will be shared closer to the event. We’ll also create a WhatsApp group to help coordinate. If you don’t have WhatsApp and can’t find us on the day, feel free to message me privately.

Looking forward to a festive night and celebrating the beginning of Advent with you all!

One of the best places to get into the Christmas spirit is to visit the Johanniskreuz Christmas Market. This year's event will be on the 3rd Advent weekend.

There will be 60 booths available to get in some Christmas shopping. We normally pick up some fresh game meat for our Christmas dinner. Please remember that they only take cash at the booths.

You can also get a fresh tree or decorations if you like.

You can drive, but you'll more than likely have a good walk to the market then. Once they have the shuttle information, I will post that.

I'll also post a WhatsApp group about a week before the event. Last year we had some problems because the lack of cellular connections. This year we will meet at the Waldladen. If you are having problems, the store has WiFi access you can connect to.

Some info in English is here:

We hope to see you there!!
