Another Going Away party...

Last night I went to another going away party. (Thanks Gill for the photo!) This time the party was for our friends, Vanessa and Hanley.  They have been long time residents in Prague and friends that I assumed would be here long past our stay.  Times change though and they have decided to move on to their next adventure.  Despite having four children (one of whom, Louis, is Sofia's friend) of their own they have sought me out to offer to watch my children when they had heard that I needed help.  Before we had a car they would often give Jason a ride back to the metro after dropping the kids at school when it was raining.  I'm sad to see them go and realistically I will probably not see them again as their travels will eventually bring them back home to New Zealand.  Who knows though...life is strange and the unexpected can always happen as shown by the fact that last night was not just their going away party but also their engagement party!  After four kids they have finally decided to tie the knot.  Congratulations Vanessa and Hanley and goodluck to you and your family as you move on to your next adventure!
