I like the sounds of your adventures. David, you won't ride horses, but elephants are okay??? Are you staying longer at that hotel?

Paige is with us now. Grandma seems happy at John's.

I have 2.5 days of school.

Should Callie know anything before her trip?

Love you guys. B

Hey guys! sounds like you are having such a wonderful time!! I have been keeping up with your blog entries and I find them quite entertaining lol they add culture to my day. I had no idea you could go to places like Aushwitz and Birkenau, just reading about it makes me feel bad for complaing about the almost constant rain we have had here! Anway, I am so glad you guys are having so much fun! I hope you have a great time in Germany and I look forward to reading your blogs, and to getting together to discuss your adventures when you get back! Miss you lots Tasha! and you to Dave.

Talk to you later,

- - Brianna!

Good morning!

Well, the McKinnons are on their way. Wish I was in their suitcase! What an intense blog entry. I really think you guys should have a travel show. Not many people get to experience those places, but should.

FYI We now have a bonsai garden by the fire pit. It was one of those impulsive Saturday afternoon projects. Looks great though! The baby fawn can't quite figure it out, and keeps leaping around like they are going to attack! hehe. Lots of rain here today, but promises of sun this afternoon.

Enjoy the next leg of your journey... speaking of which... don't forget your leiderhosen (sp?)

Love

Mom

Hello U 2 We have been reading your blogs and following you from country to country. Sure sounds as though you both have found the perfect way to celebrate the end of twelve years of school. Good on you and keep exploring!! I am not aware of any relatives in the Krakov area. They are more to the northeast in and around Byala Podlaska and in Gdinya. We are pleased that you found Krakov so nice and interesting and that you are going to tour the concentration camp sites; a horrible part of history and something you will both remember for a long time as you will remember all the beauty of your total adventure. Should you find that English is not quite sufficient to get you through Krakov, here are two words that may help you along: "tuck" meaning - that is the way it is, yes, fine and "nyet" meaning "no" in Russian, but it should do. Sorry we didn't know you were going to Poland or we could have taught you a few more expressions and given you 2 Zloty for you to spend. They may have bought you a glass of water or something. Anyway, take care and continue having fun.........Gram & Gramps

Miss you guys! Don't lick any Poles!(heart)

Hello jet-setters! I finally logged onto your blog (address courtesy of Derek) and I'm impressed with the ground you've covered. Sounds like you're having a blast!
Will follow your adventures with great interest.
Love, (Auntie) Val xo
