What We Like So Far

This day began with clear blue sky. In this area you never know how long that will last. We had our usual meeting at 8 AM that included the thought for the day and the journal reading. Off to breakfast and full morning of classes.

 The group taught by Val and Gillian discussed the pros and cons of Poland using the Euro, played some games and walked to town to stock up on snacks for the hikes on Friday and Saturday. The class taught by Bev and Brandon played UNO and 20 Questions. This group also made a serious snack run. Kathy and Martha combined their group to everyone could present a Tourist Agency speech about his or her home town. The group on the back patio, taught by David and Nancy played some games. They also discussed the best and worst things about camp. Among the favorites: (1) Learning English; (2) Hearing native English speakers; (3) Making friends; and (4) the food! The dislikes includes: (1) Hikes (but only a complaint from one person); (2) the guide on the hikes; and (3) difficulty of sharing a bathroom with 3 or 4 others.  Jackson’s group played Scrabble and Uno.

For obiad we had another of the kitchen’s delicious soups – cauliflower this time. The meal ended with a treat – a tray of cookies.

 

Lori went to Tarnów, the hottest (temperature wise) town in Poland to do some research on the Roma people.

The other volunteers were off to Kraków to the tourist thing. There were visits to the Salt Mine, Wawel Castle, Auschwitz, and many churches. Much time was spent in the rynek, eating and people watching. What a great city is Kraków!
