For almost a year I was looking forward to my trip to Prague. I knew that it was going to be an incredible opportunity. While the trip was business related, it was so much more!
My family roots grow very close to this beautiful city and I wanted to see where I had come from. My great grandfather - Rudolf Svarc was from the village of Castonice near Krivaklat and my great grandmother - Sophie Posta was from Ujezd nad Zbecnem.
After a year of waiting, I should have been disappointed that I couldn't travel to my grandfather's home town. But I wasn't! When I finally gave up knowing that I had tried my best, I was grateful to have come so close. I took joy it what I did have and not sadness for what I could not have.
I think maybe I am growing up????
