I made it to Poland! And I am having a blast – this is an AMAZING city and country.
Mostly, I have only good news to tell you. But there is one piece of bad news: the Internet connection at my hotel costs $1/minute. Yep. So I’m going to keep this short: the highlights of the last two days.
After a long and crowded flight and getting lost in the maze they call Heathrow airport, I was very happy to see this sign.
A brilliant British idea.
This is Old Town, the part of the Warsaw that dates backs hundreds of years. The Nazis flattened it, but the Poles rebuilt it to look like it did before WWII. New Polish word: lody I ate hazlenut lody (ice cream) in Old Town then wandered around soaking in the city.
Polish is an imposing language.
These are trash cans. I think.
After breakfast this morning, I went to the ruins of a castle at Czersk. Not a bad way to start the day.
More later in the week. Tomorrow I get to start working with the kids at the American School!
