Gondolas for the win

I love it when things work out better than expected. In July I had a list of places we could go. One of them was Rüdesheim to ride the gondola along the Rhein River. For a variety of reasons it didn’t work out but it really wasn’t a big deal. After arriving at Olivia’s host parents’ house they said they really wanted to take us to this great Christmas market and ride the gondolas. What??? This is awesome! 
The food and environment was just what we hoped for and the rise up the mountain was gorgeous 

Day 2 in Deutschland and it was GUDE 

Aunt Angie and Uncle John sent Liv a very thoughtful Christmas gift. 

On our way up

This was funny. 
At the top of the ride we came across this proposal sight. Could have been sweet but it was dinner the top, I expected the bachelor/bachelorette to show up. 
Marry Me sign ✔️ Camera crew ✔️
Red roses ✔️ Red carpet✔️
Violinist ✔️ stage management✔️
And to top it off there were about 15-20 on lookers just waiting for the surprised bride-to-be to pop around the corner. We waited a good 30 minutes but finally gave up. 
I hope they have a happily ever after

The food at this market was really good and prices right 
Käsewürst, pommes, smoked salmon, crepes, chocolate covered fruit and Glühwein (hot spiced wine)

Isn’t she the cutest


Here we are in front of the famous street, people travel near and far to see this

Only 144 meters long but all is GUDE.
