Today we went ice skating on the square of the Rathaus (city hall)! They provide penguins that young children can hold onto for a more stable skate - Kate donned double-bladed toddler skates and tried this, but was a little uneasy, so I picked her up and we sailed around the rink. I ended up needing the penguin after all, though, as it's been years since I've been on the ice!
We rounded out the afternoon by eating, of course: waffles with vanilla cream and caramel sauce and "spiralkartoffeln", which are potato chips made on the spot by running a potato through a spiral cutter and frying. We downed the famous Austrian "Punsch" as well - Steve takes the strong stuff (wildberry with rum) and I drink the "Kinderpunsch" (glorified hot apple cider) - he laughs at me but I'm not ashamed:)

First bites - and dribbles - of rice cereal!
