In early December, we drove a couple hours to the German town of Monschau. It's close to the border of Belgium, and they are known for their beautiful, charming Christmas market.

First, we took a nice leisurely walk along the river.

cobblestone roads, half timbered buildings

Quite possibly the cutest firehouse I have ever seen!
Beautiful buildings
