Ice skating at Brunsviken.
As the snow and cold have continued to stick around, the sidewalks of Stockholm have become increasingly tough to navigate. The snow has formed a hardened icy layer that looks like molten lava but is as solid as, well, ice. And it is slippery.
In the last few weeks, I have watched a lot of adults slip, slide and try their best to keep from falling on the ice. I have even seen one or two fall down. But tonight in front of my local grocery, I watched a group of four-year-olds trying to fall down. In their snow suits, they were dive sliding on a particularly treacherous chunk of ice. It was hilarious. Outside of putting on skates, it seems like the best way to deal with the slippery mess as well.
