SlovakPRO and Birthdays |
Here are several other pictures from 2024. This year I got invited to two events with Slovak PRO, a new organization aimed to offer networking opportunities for Slovak living in the US. The first event I went to was in February in San Francisco, and it included a visit of the outgoing president Zuzana Čaputová. Then later in September, there was another meeting in New York city, where we got to meet the new president - after Slovakia has done a total 180o turn to a populist government led by the on-off Robert Fico - Peter Pelligrini. Here I also got to meet up with an elementary school friend Lucia, whom I haven't seen basically since leaving Slovakia.
Here are pictures from Sandra's birthday. We first had dinner at a nice nearby restaurant called Saddle Peak Lodge, and later held a get together at a local winery called Stonehaus.
Another neat thing that we did was going to see a concert at the Canyon Club, a local place for cover bands. I particularly liked their massive chair. We also volunteered at a regatta at the yacht club.
Some other news: my second book is finally in press! You can find more about it here. Also, Sandra traveled with her girlfriends to South Africa. Besides sightseeing, they also got to do a really amazing safari in the Kruger national park. Below is one of her many excellent photos.
