Proposing is scary...

Did the usual wake up early/luggage/breakfast thing, and got on the bus. We headed down some windy roads, and ended up in a neat small town right on the Rhine river. We boarded a boat, and had a really nice ride down the Rhine, getting lots of pictures of the old castles and churches in the small hills that line the river, and the Lorelei Rock. The weather is cloudy and a little bit of rain, but not bad, more of a light mist. A great time was had by all.

Our bus meets us down river, and we head to Heidelberg. It's Germany's oldest university town, and there is a really nice old castle there. Now at this time, I've been carrying 'the ring' with me for days, waiting for the perfect time. Not that I knew what the perfect time would look like, but hey, at least I wouldn't stick it in food and surprise her that way.

See, when we were in England we had planned on going to Bath, and I was going to do it there at the Royal Crescent, but we figured there was only limited time in London, and there was much to see. So that plan was foiled. I then was going to do it on the London Eye on Friday (had planned on going there with Matt) but it was not a clear night, and he really suggested we try to do the Eye on as close to a cloudless night as we could get. Foiled again. Fie.

So after a nice uphill walk to the castle in Heidelberg (and the easier walk down) we found a little pizza place in the main square.
