So we arrived by train in Katowice (Kat-o-vi-tsa). Our journey on the train was fairly short at just under 3 hours. We had a great time on the train, and I'd love to tell you more, but that is priviledged information! :)
Being 4 women, we had a TON of baggage. Think 2 suitcases, 1 "bag" and 1 "purse" per female... Yes, I think you have the picture of it now!
The Rotarians met us at the train and helped us unload our baggage. OUCH!
Once we exited the train station (which was rather dingy, and slightly scary), we were told that 3 of us would go with one Rotarian, and 1 of us with the other. By default, Danna went with the club president and Megan and Sheri wanted to stay together, so I've come home with Kate and her husband.
Ironically enough, we asked how many stairs we would have to climb with my bags before I agreed to the arrangement, and Kate said "Oh, only 2nd floor" Whew! One flight of stairs I can handle. But SURPRISE! 2nd floor, is really floor 3 apparently, because I hauled my butt up 2 flights of stairs, no doubt about it. Thankfully Kate's husband carried up the heaviest one!
We have internet, obviously, but my mail will not load. Oh sad day. I'll check my email again when I can. So please write me... I miss everyone at home! Hopefully I can upload more pictures shortly. Meanwhile, my lovely hosts have prepared a dinner, so I'm going to go dine with them, and perhaps enjoy some Polish beer.
Enjoy!
