We are finally at our first outdoor Polish party. Food, potatoes with seasoning that is just for potatoes, onion, sausage, and ham in cast iron cooked in the ground. Unbelievable. We are having fun with our hosts and our driver’s wife, aunt and three daughters. They are practicing their English so I don’t have to try my polish - yay!

Our dinner host/driver is so proud he is getting an "American sprinkler system" - so cute. His youngest daughter, before he would serve her dinner, had to say three English sentences. So we said she should say "no, thank you" "I love you" and "can I have some more money". To graduate from high school she has to pass 6 tests, 3 on polish language, and 3 on English, oral and written - next week. Tomorrow night is our Rotary Meeting in Katowice. More to follow after that.
