Cable cars are a great mode of transportation, especially when you need to scale great heights over difficult terrain. Not only does it provide a much easier way to reach difficult destinations, but it also usually provides spectacular views. Whether taking a car to reach the top of a mountain in order to go skiing or just to see the gorgeous vistas. We have taken cable cars on three different continents and the experiences are all very similar. So, for this week’s Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge, we are sharing images of several different cable car experiences. Enjoy the view 😀!

Flying into Frankfurt
The airport in Frankfurt, Germany, is definitely one of the busiest airports in the world. We had flown through Frankfurt before heading there last fall, but really hadn’t given it a lot of thought. So, when we flew into Frankfurt for our extended stay, we took a few pictures from the plane upon approach. It really doesn’t do it justice as there are plenty of little hamlets that surround the city proper and the airport is far enough away from the actual city that you don’t really get good views of downtown. What you do get a sense for is the fact that the area around Frankfurt is covered in forests and rolling hills. Obviously not the dramatic scenery that we have here in Colorado, but it was definitely what we expected to see in Germany. We are flying up to Montana this weekend, but in our hearts we wish were flying back to Frankfurt. For this week’s Cee’s Which Way Challenge we decided to provide some photos of our approach into Frankfurt and what would become our home for half of a year.
Arial Transportation
When we were in Bolivia, we loved the use of cable cars as a mode of transportation. Not only are they efficient and inexpensive, but they provide wonderful views of the city. Especially in La Paz, which is a city built into the sides of the Andes mountains, it makes sense since there is no way to build an underground subway system there. So, for this week’s Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge, we decided to share a few more photos of the cable cars in La Paz.
