Tomorrow becomes today

Ahhh. Hello sweet internet... blogosphere o' my heart.

Here we are in Warsaw. So far a wonderful, beautiful experience. Naturally there are things that don't accomodate us, but overall, we're learning so much! And our Polish is getting stronger each day!

We are more and more realizing how bad our Oklahoma accents are... who else says "fer" or "fixin" and "ya'll" so naturally? I'm never so conscious of it as when I am in a foreign country. And it just sort of rolls off my tongue, to my ever lasting horror!

Danna, Megan, Sherri and I have not killed each other yet. In fact, at this point, we still like each other. Megan and I are realistic enough to bet that we'll be the first two to blow up though. No worries, yet though, my friends... We still like each other!

We're a pretty dynamic team, and I am really enjoying the girls. Its nice to have a link to home in this foreign city.

My hosts are incredible, warm and welcoming. They have gone out of their way to make me feel welcome. In fact, Gabriella now insists that she is my "Warsaw Mother" (they are my parents age), and you know what? I'll keep her!

Last night we went to a charity benefit/concert where the most popular pop singer in Poland opened... I think her name was Justine... but the real entertainment was the Polish traditional folk dancing from the university acadamy! They were incredible! How I enjoyed watching them...

As Sheri mentioned, we've managed to squeeze in some shopping. How fun it is to make our way in a strange city w/ no guide. But we've done it, and I feel stronger for having survived it! I'm ready for the next challenge!

Danna and I have even managed to be the ultimate tourists at the Hard Rock Cafe, Warsaw!

Okay, my time is limited on the computer, and I'm so sorry we still haven't posted pictures. I promise to get some up as soon as I can! We've taken hundreds and hundreds!

One of us will post soon... Until then... stay alert!
