Recently returned from a snowy trip to Brno, Czech Republic, where we settled on a lovely 5th-floor apartment right in the center of town. Move-in date is April 1! While there we visited the historic town of Olomouc (which Czech town isn’t historic?), and I took a side trip to Vienna to interview Anneleen Lenaerts who gave me a back-stage tour of the Vienna Opera House. Nearly got stranded in a Vienna blizzard when my train was canceled, but fortunately the next train left mostly on schedule. Here’s hoping for a warmer visit next time…
