Yesterday we went to Rudesheim to go to the Christmas markets there. We took one of Nate’s work friends with us, and it was fun. He was nice and just enjoying being out of the barracks. We went around to a lot of the stands and I got some cheap gifts/decorations, which I may or may not keep for myself. :-p We also got some gluhwein–and kept the mugs. After walking around for a while we split up and the guys went to grab some food/drink while I took Caedmon to see the donkey, rabbits, and sheep that they have in the petting zoo there. The machines for the food weren’t working and it started raining so we went walking down to see if they had the pony rides like they did previous years. They did, and Caedmon thought seeing the ponies was great. So when we met up with Nate again we let Caedmon ride one. I thought it was really cheap–2,50euro for 4 rounds, you lead the pony. Caedmon was all excited about it until he got on and then he started yelling about wanting to ride a different one. But it was still cute. Afterwards he didn’t want to leave, so we walked him down a little further and let him ride the train. That was just scary because he wouldn’t sit down. After that we walked to a little cafe and had some coffee, then went home. It was a fun afternoon, can't wait to take you Germany-bound folks to some of the markets. :-)
