Happy New Year 2020!

Šťastný nova rok!  Happy New Year! 

Last night was New Year's Eve but we kept it pretty low key.  We had sushi for dinner and then hung out in the centre for a bit.  

The Christmas Markets are still open until 5 January and the city put on a videomapping show at náměstí Svobody.

I love this town.  Only in Brno does the town clock wear a "condom" to keep it from getting safe from unwanted fireworks.

Here's a short clip from last night's videomapping show.

Aside from New Year's Day, today is also Czech Independence Day.  It's been 27 years since Czech Republic became an independent country following the Velvet Divorce.

This morning Natalie caught her train back to Switzerland.  It was great to have her back in Brno even if for just a couple of days.  In February, Claudia, Tünde, and I are going to visit her in Geneva.  Yeah for more family travel adventures.

Update:  Here's the complete 10 minute NYE videomapping show that I found on YouTube.
