Today is a momentous day in Velkyal World, and one that Mrs Velkyal has been eagerly anticipating since the day we arrived in Charlottesville. Today I got my driving license, at the ripe old age of very nearly 34! People have looked at me with incredulity for years because I couldn't drive, but when you live in Prague for 10 years with its phenomenal metro, tram and bus system, there really is no need to burden yourself with the expense of a car, insurance and petrol (that's gas, and at current prices it is about 4 times as expensive as here in Charlottesville!).
In honour of my passing the test, first time round as well, here are a couple of songs to take you in to the weekend.
By the way - I am now on Twitter, so come follow me!

ReplyDeleteI am sure the Germans will be far more thorough than the one I took here, but even then I say thank goodness for automatic transmission!
