They have pretty white tents set up around the perimeter of the rink, renting skates and selling wursts and candies and muzen (puffy pillows with powdered sugar, like mini donuts) … und gluhwein und glogg! My kind of stadt!
I think of Lübeck as a sister city of Duluth (similar in size, both interesting cities), even though Duluth is about 700 years younger. Duluth should do something like this skating rink, with the tents selling goodies and places for onlookers to sit and have glogg. Unlike Lübeck, they wouldn’t even have to use refrigeration to freeze the ice. I wonder if it’s legal to sell hot glogg in a public area in Duluth?
For little kids who are learning to skate, they can take a penguin to hang onto. I would like to take a penguin too, if I try to skate. Which I will not do, sadly.
I will bring my hockey skates and a thermos of hot cocoa! Sounds like fun!
