Kaiserschmarrn, anyone?
Johann Strauß Memorial
Everyone was out to play
and taste
and take it all in
from the terrace of the Kursalon Café
and see how to
wear Lederhosen in style
find a shady spot to share
a glass of Uhudler wine with friends
enjoy a leisurely afternoon
of reading on a blanket in the sun
or take a well-earned breather
by the pond

ReplyDeleteMmm, love kaiserchmarrn! My husband makes it from a cookery book he bought when he studied in Salzburg for a year. Our children loved it as a weekend treat.
ReplyDeleteHow fun it is to see the citizens of Vienna having fun in such a relaxed manner---something I haven't seen too
ReplyDeleteoften. Thanks for sharing, Merisi. Enjoy your weekend.
Yes, I could spend a day like that. A little wine, a little nap, a little sun, a little book. Perfect
ReplyDeleteI never knew lederhosen came in long styles... I thought they were all cut above the knee. I like the long ones! They look like cowboys. 8-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks absolutely fabulous, what a fun way to spend an afternoon sampling all the wonders of Austrian foods... Lucky You Merisi
