Catching up on the blog, I’ll start with our Christmas holiday. We left Rome for Vienna, where we spent our first few days wondering the city and enjoying food and sights. We learned it hasn’t snowed for Christmas in five years, just cold rain. We kept dry and enjoyed stopping at every opportunity to have gluwein while wondering through the many markets all over town.
We spent Christmas watching a children’s opera at the famous opera house. A highlight for us adults was the food, the yummy treats, good coffee and of course, schnitzel. The highlight for the kids, though, was having our hotel near an amusement park, The Prater. Kids got their first experience in a fun house and Rafa spent five minutes deciding whether to join Sisto on a little roller coaster. In the end, he said “ok I’ll go!” Half way through the ride, he started screaming so much I was not sure if he was having fun anymore. The ride ended with a huge smile; I think he was glad he did it but also glad it was over.
