Coffee and Ice

One of our favorite things to do when we're bored is go to one of the local coffee shops here in Debrecen and relax. We are particularly fond of one coffee drink called the "mocha chi chi." It is a blend of vanilla, chocolate, coffee and just a dash of some unknown addictive substance that keeps us coming back for more. After warming up with a little dessert and coffee we like to go exploring through the many trails that the city has to offer. Our apartment is located near the University, which is near many ponds and parks. We love seeing the snow, but we also look forward to the Spring time when everything is in bloom. While walking around the park we found a few frozen ponds to step onto. Don't worry I'm sure they're safe and if not....well we always have our Hungarian health insurance. :)

They sell many desserts like this in the Christmas market.

It is also a bookstore, but they only sell Hungarian books.

We are addicted to their mocha chi chi.
It's pretty much hot chocolate with a dash of coffee.

Many ponds have frozen over and
you can now walk on them!

Happy not to have fallen through the ice. :)

This pond is typically used for paddle boating in the warmer months.
