Back from Prague

Vee and I have just returned from five days in Prague – her 16th visit and my 21st. This time, we were there to attend the graduation ceremony of our dear friend Vojti&#353ek (Vojta) Horv&#225th whose family we have known for 22 years.
Vojta has recently completed a six-year degree in medicine and his degree ceremony was held in the Magna Aula of the Karolinum of the Charles University of Prague. This is a very old establishment: the first university in Central Europe established in 1348. We didn’t understand a word of the event – what wasn’t in Czech was in Latin – but we were delighted to celebrate Vojta’s success after so much hard work.

    It’s always great to learn and know about the success and achievement of others. Success does not come to those who do not work hard. Congratulation Vojta for this BIG Achievement. You are great inspiration to many!!
