POLAND
OK goodbye for now everyone, am leaving tomorrow for Poland and will be back July 10th. Very unlikely that I will be able to write anyhing in my blog while I am away.
We will be visiting lots of famous cities, Krakow(famous city), Auschwitz (Nazi concentration camp where it is estimated that 1.5 million people were gassed to death and/or burned to death), and Zakopane(mountains south of Poland where Pope John Paul 2nd frequently visited) definitely and possibly Czestochowa (famous: The Black Madonna - Czestochowa, Poland (1382)
The Black Madonna is a painting of the Madonna and Christ Child which legend states was painted by St. Luke the Evangelist. St. Luke is believed to have used a tabletop from a table built by the carpenter Jesus. It was while Luke was painting Mary that she told him about the events in the life of Jesus that he eventually incorporated in his gospel. The painting shows up again in 326 AD when St. Helen located it in Jerusalem while on a pilgrimage there. She gave the painting to her son, Constantine, who had a shrine built in Constantinople to house it.)
While very excited about going I also must confess to quite a bit of nervousness as I very much do not enjoy flying, especially when it is a long flight, in this case it is will be 10 hours of flying and then another 2 or 3 hours of a car ride before we arrive in tarnow, Poland. Tarnow is the town my wife was born and grew up in, it is closest to the city of Krakow.
Aga is doing most of the packing today and tonight so there will not be much to worry about tomorrow except for getting a taxi/van to the airport. We need to take the twins car seats with us in addition to our luggage. As it stands now, Nicki will be sitting next to me and Julia will be sitting with Aga.
So, again goodbye to everyone and take care. Will speak and or talk to all when I return in July.
Love,
Chris

Thanks CP- I will miss reading your updates on the Sox!
Hopefully I will figure out a way to get the scores while I am gone. I will return around when the All Star Break begins I think!
You will have to let me know what kind of reception Pedro receives when he pitches next week at Fenway.
Take care.
