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!

Congratulations! It'll make you feel better when I tell you I don't drive, and I'm just a few years older :D I really should do something about it, especially as my better half wants to move out to the sticks...
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!
