What is a funny old way of saying "a distant relation" in Yiddish?
Dem ferds baytsh-shtekls potkeve
דעם פערדס בייטש-שטעקלס פאטקעווע
Literally: the horse’s whipping stick’s horseshoe!
And what do I miss most about Vienna?
Her beautiful horses clip-clopping around the palaces!

ReplyDeleteyou were born in the wrong era. You should have been enjoying the Ringstrasse Society of 1890-1914 :)
I actually though this horse and carriage might be in western USA. They are not used for transportation any longer, only shows and parades.
ReplyDeleteGreat combination of picture, language and witticism!
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful sight Dina, so many beautiful sights in Vienna!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful city you visited.
ReplyDeleteI like the white carriage in this photo.
