Arriving

Our team assembled at the Warsaw airport. Carol and Lynn walked across the street from the Courtyard Marriott Hotel, having arrived in Warsaw yesterday. Dorota and Lori flew up from Kraków, having just completed a language camp in Zakopane.  Sara arrived on the LOT flight from Chicago. Soon we were all on our way to Reymontówka. We were greeted with the traditional ceremony of bread and salt.  We   enjoyed obiad together. Following the meal each volunteer introduced herself and Dorota provided a brief historical presentation of the Global Volunteer program in Poland.

Then Lori gave the arriving volunteers a tour around the Reymontówka campus. The late afternoon was spent getting settled into our rooms. We enjoyed kolejca with particular raves about the dessert. In the early evening we all took a walk together up towards the horse stable crossroads corner. Then we settled in for a very quiet night.
