I did the sound of music dance in the hills of Switzerland. But I relate and worry about similar things in my travels abroad. What a thoughtful and delightful post. thank you, I just became a subscriber!
Such a great post! And if you want to keep going on your Von Trapp experience, you only need to go up to Vermont where the family has a lodge and a brewing company. https://www.trappfamily.com/
Also, in Italy they gave up on the toilets. The seats of most of them in public places are just missing, broken because Asian tourists kept standing on them to squat.
Well said! It is a scary time. But on a lighter note, my best friend and I did an all-day Sound of Music tour too, when we were traveling Europe in college. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
You might enjoy Beatriz Williams’ latest novel, Husbands and Lovers, which has a Hungarian WWII storyline (among others).
Cool -- I will take a look. Thanks!

Not many could do a travelogue-slash-make-sure-to-vote combo. Kudos!!

Yes! I've driven past the Trapp family lodge a bunch of times but haven't ever gone - need to rectify that.

Great trip overview, Jane! Glad you all had a blast! Takes me back to my 6 months spent in Hungary in 93’ - I need to get back there!
