Warsaw – June 16 – day 1.5
To all you dads out there – happy dad’s day. For me (and my dad) Father’s Day is extremely special. I was his first gift – born oh those many years ago on Father’s Day. Our tradition is to wish … Continue reading
Tomorrow has arrived
Yes, today was once tomorrow – if that sounds confusing, you probably don’t want to be inside my head (actually you probably never want to be inside my head). After a 10+ hour trip from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam, … Continue reading

Wieliczka Salt Mine – May 26
Today, like yesterday started out clear and remained so for the entire day! Two days without rain. Limited sunshine, but no rain. After so many consecutive rainy days, I had about begun to doubt that we would see sun again. … Continue reading
Return to Krakow – May 24 & 25
Friday was a restful day, well probably not for Marek who was driving and trying to listen to the very strange directions from the GPS – somehow most right turns were “bear right.” Unfortunately “bear right” also meant just that … Continue reading
Retracing our footsteps – Jawornik Polski and Rzeszow: May 23
