Polska 2011

I am leaving for Poland tomorrow.

Coming back... Never?

(or in about 10 days)

Good to me

Counting from the end of tonight, in the past week I've been on 7 airplanes. I'm even updating this blog from the Charlotte airport again...

I had to go up to Ohio for the funeral of a family friend, Jim Campbell. His wife, Chris, and he lived with my family three different times when we were young. They were our "nannies," but not in a rich-people way. They helped raise Jordan and me. I called Chris "Somebody" and Jim "Nobody." As in, "I want Nobody to tie my shoes." No idea why I started that. I probably wasn't spanked enough.

In America, the Internet is in English

Hi everyone. I'm in Charlotte, NC, using free American internet. When I logged in to post a new entry, I did not have to try to guess which Polish link to click. That was weird.

I have a few moments until I board the boat plane to Nashville, but I wanted to put up one more post before I'm officially home. I promise I will post a few more things even once I get back, because I still have many pictures to share. The following text is from an e-mail I just wrote a friend. There will be pictures after the break, too.

Kraków MEGAPOST

Yo! I have Photoshop, all is well. It was lots easier than I thought. Sorry for doubting you, NSCC. You still owe me money, though.

So, there are over 80 pictures I'm going to post. I don't think I'll write much, maybe just to explain what certain things are. I went to Kraków with Magda and her friend Monika (I think, I'm terrible with names, but that's a fairly common one so it's a good guess) on 2 April. I really enjoyed seeing another Polish city. I have to admit, I like Warsaw better so far. However, I would love to try again on a day that is warm and sunny, and see what my impression of Kraków is then...

But for now, pictures.

Piccolo problema...

(Yes, that is Italian.)

I have Photoshop legally, but haven't been able to provide my student documentation to get a serial number... So the trial period finally ran out, and now I can't use it til I get this sorted. This wouldn't be so much of a problem except for the fact that I shoot a file format called RAW, and that needs to be processed before it can be displayed as a JPG or something else.

So, while I'm getting this figured out, here are some older, random pictures that don't really contribute to a story or anything, but might be interesting to someone somewhere.

Prezydent już nie ma

The President of Poland, Lech Kaczynski, as well as his wife and 80-something other people, have died in a plane crash today. Please pray for the loved ones of those who died, and pray for the people of Poland during this difficult time.

Wielkanoc

As I begin this, we are 21 minutes into Easter. So happy Easter, everyone.

I will share with you some images from Palm Sunday. I went to see what mass was like. I'd never been to a Catholic mass before, at all, so it was quite interesting for me.
