My Plans for the Week-end

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to drop a quick note--I am off on another adventure. This week-end I am going with a few friends to visit the City of Pilsen and take part in their Liberation Festival. Here is some interesting information regarding this festival and the city--"On May 6, 1945, at the very end of World War II, the city of Pilsen and Western Bohemia were liberated from Nazi Germany by General Patton's 3rd Army; the rest of Czechoslovakia was liberated from German control by the Soviet Red Army. Patton withdrew a few days thereafter, in accordance with the agreements of the Allies. The Communist regime ensured that this liberation of Pilsen and Western Bohemia by the U.S. troops was mentioned fleetingly, if at all. There was, however, a bronze plaque commemorating the liberation by the US 3rd Army near the town center. Since 1990, the city has organized a yearly Liberation Festival taking place in May, which has already become a local tradition, and has been attended by many allied veterans."

It should be an interesting week-end for me! I will be sure to take plenty of pictures and post them by Monday.

Hope all is well. Take care until next time!

Blessings,
Colleen
