We’re off once again to Europe, this time to visit the Waltz Capital of the World, Vienna, Austria (and you don’t know how badly my fingers wanted to type Vienna Sausages 
). Vienna is the largest city in Austria and in addition to its musical heritage, it was the home of Sigmund Freud. We can attend concerts, the opera, the theater, visit museums, or check out the historic architecture. Or we can just wander the parks and gardens. And we can eat. And eat and eat. 
Today in history:
- 1889 – Director Victor Fleming was born. His most famous films were The Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind.
- 1896 – The Tootsie Roll was invented.
- 1903 – Cuba leased Guantánamo Bay to the United States “in perpetuity”. Bet they regret that deal!
- 1905 – Chicago attorney Paul Harris and three other businessmen meet for lunch to form the Rotary Club.
- 1927 – President Calvin Coolidge signed a bill by Congress which established the Federal Radio Commission (later replaced by the Federal Communications Commission) which.
- 1954 – The first mass inoculation of children against polio with the Salk vaccine began in Pittsburgh.
On TV tonight: Wipeout and The Finder
Reading: Finished up A Fitting End which I loved. Now I’m reading The Walled Flower by Lorraine Bartlett. This is the second in her Victoria Square series.
I would love to visit Vienna.
