    Hi Rolf,
    just thought i’d share my favorite travel proverb with you (czech), since i enjoy your others so much. glad to hear all’s going well with the book and tour and best of luck in its remaining days.

    “kolik jazyku znas, tolikrat si clovekem”

    “as many languages as you speak is as many men that you are”
