Sunday brunch at the Café Wien is delicious. Fortunately we had a couple hours' time to enjoy it all.
Afterwards we went out to Durlach, a district of Karlsruhe, and had a nice cup of Glühwein (which is called glintwein in Latvian, did you know that?) but I couldn't stay for the Carnival parade because I had to get back to Frankfurt in time for the premiere of Gounod's opera Faust -- a brilliant premiere, by the way, conducted by Johannes Debus, with Christoph Loy as stage director.
