We did alot of walking today. The best way is to start off with a playground.
All the stores are closed today, but not the bread shop at the bottom of the stairs. District II has a high population of Jewish people. The young boys and yung men are easy to spot on the streets by their clothes and hairstyle. We walked early in the morning to the playground in Prater Park. Lots of Austrians out this morning exercising – running, walking, biking, or rollerblading. Very active. Very sunny this morning. We have not seen this many people out exercising in the morning since Southern California with a northern California attire.About 50F outside. We played at one of the many Prater playgrounds and ate our breakfast of breads and fruits. Not many eggs sold here. The playground equipment , especially the high wire practice area would not pass US safety codes. Still no public toilets. They must have their reasons. Viena was rollerblading with the other rollerbladers. A nice fresh chilly sunny fall morning. We are here for our 5 days of chill-feel here in Vienna. We came back to our place to find Luka and his dad. All of the children played together. Luka is 1 and a half and shares many birth properties with Viena. Luka was born at home on March 3rd in the living space where we were playing. Figure the odds of that one. Luka’s dad is from Italy and he shard some Italian pasta making secrets with Ezra. After lunch, we packed up and walked across the Danube canal to our new place in District I. The place was virtually empty. A bed. A kitchen set. A table. A bathtub. The bathtub was excellent. And the best part of all, was the location right near the St Stephen’s cathedral. Very opposite our last place that was well-furnished and had lots of toys. We spent the afternoon and evening walking around the very crowded streets of Old Vienna. the streets are great for walking because they do not allow cars. What a concept. So nice to walk around street in the absence of cars. I do not where the cars park or how everyone arrives – bu metro or by bus or taxi. Sunshine and autumn inclinations. Vienna is the same latitude of Newfoundland. We found Mozart park. Statues and big building rayed in sunshine – a street performance between moving Metro trains.
