Ice Skating in Central Park

Thursday night we went ice skating in Central Park - the rink is down by the South East corner of the park, and is one of serveral open-air rinks in the city (including Byrant Park, which is small but free). The location is amazing: there is something about a ring of skyscrapers which puts me in a buoyant mood. Jules, my friend from Canada, proved once more what an awesome teacher she is by taking Jackie, from Kenya, for her very first time on ice, and teaching me the fundamentals of skating backwards.

The rink is owned by Donald Trump, and his name is everywhere. It adds to the smooth slitheriness of the ice...

Aftewards we had gluhwein with extra kick in it and toblerone-chocolate fondue. Yeah!
