I just returned from Poland--my 10th visit to my favorite place. Two weeks ago today, I began the adventure. I stopped first in Poznań and chatted with some old friends. I also met a new friend who was very helpful to me. My new cell phone didn't work, so another friend gave me his extra phone. I was really thankful to get it!
I left Poznań on Monday by train. I met (for the first time) a friend in Warszawa. We spent a wonderful 4 hours talking in a beautiful park on a perfect day. I hated to leave.
I arrived in Kętrzyn about 8:00pm after 6 hours on a bus. I met Michał at the station. Within 3 days, we became good friends. We worked together well preparing lessons. For 10 days I enjoyed the energy and enthusiasm of 70 English students, ages 9 and 10, in the private school run by Michał and his wife, Ania.
I also took a short trip to Suwałki to meet another internet friend.
I had a great time on this trip.
The biggest problem was that I couldn't fully enjoy the usual generous Polish hospitality because I could never eat as much as my host or hostess offered! However, I assure you that I savored every bite.
