Preparation and starting our journey, just one day after the anniversary of beginning of expedition by Zikmund and Hanzelka,/famous Czech travellers/ sixty years ago. We started our pilgrimage journey , tracing partly lost and partly remembered slavonic Glagolic script.Leaving Prague, the mother of the cities, was not meant in the messy and dusty connotation of the metropolis. All of us left freaking thoughts behind, and drawned into the landscape, which we gradually started to perceive as a territory of the great Moravian Empire,tousand years ago. City of Slavonice in its rennaisance beuty with few bored people around a pub accepted our car with expectation.We washed the car just after our arrival, so that we can add some letters from the glagolic or cyrilic alphabet, on each of our stops.There was not many people on the square, some did not stay long,even few members of the city hall were attracted by watching our projection on the screen of the car,concerning the concept of our expedition.We were sitting later, after the projection with few locals in half empty pub, speaking about word and sign.The slavonian people decided for the representing sign, or letter A from glagolic alphabet because they feel similarity with human body, the second letter reminds a building, , so we can consider this fact as a community living in harmonic environment, sometimes missing dynamic excitement, …we left our first stop - this harmonic city after short sleep in local cultural house from the communist era, surrounded by circus Pacific early in the morning to arrive to Nitra University in time…..
