We had a wonderful time in Plzen, with great conversations and dinners with our hosts, Eva and Vladislav; a visit to Eva's organization, where we sat in on some English classes for seniors; and a visit to the Pilsner Urquell brewery. ... After liberation by the Americans on May 6th, 1945, a demarcation line was drawn by the Soviets and Americans, which placed Plzen on the west side, and Prague on the right, even though the Americans could have reached Prague in 2 hours. ... It took the Soviets 3 more days to reach Prague, even though it was now considered on the Red Army side of the line.We had a wonderful time in Plzen, with great conversations and dinners with our hosts, Eva and Vladislav; a visit to Eva's organization, where we sat in on some English classes for seniors; and a visit to the Pilsner Urquell brewery. ...
