Message of the Day by Susan: "Make new friends, but keep the old – One is silver and the other gold."

We had our 7:00 AM breakfast of plum pancakes and additional things we find laid out for us by the kitchen fairies. Ginny and I were off to Cisie where we were treated to a program celebrating “Teachers Day”. It was fun though it was all in Polish. Afterward there was coffee, tea and home made cakes for the teachers. Classes began at 11:55 AM at Niwiski with a break about with coffee, tea and cakes. The children presented Ginny and me with 4 roses and a thank you note written in English. What wonderful customs they have in Poland.
Our team was invited to dinner with the governor and associates. We were treated to his slides from China. Zygmunt Wielogorski was a judge for the weight lifting competition which was a great honor for him. The night ended with an almost full moon and a good night sleep.
