Lausanne, Switzerland, March, 2015
When I lived in Prague from 2002-04, I rented a room from a vibrant, intelligent and very funny Czech woman named Eva. When I returned to Prague, I went to her apartment hoping to find her. I made three pilgrimages across town, ringing her bell, but sadly, there was never an answer. A woman who lived in the building said she had not seen her for six months. I was worried, but something told me to keep looking.
I remembered her daughter, Monika lived in Switzerland and ran a small bed and breakfast in Lausanne. I sent an email, and within minutes found out that my ceska babicka was alive and well, living in an apartment near Monika and her family. I was delighted to learn that Monika and her husband now had two small children. I was invited to visit, so off I went a few short days before returning home to the US.
