for the record, its 3:30 AM here and we woke up a couple of hours ago, having gone to bed at 6:00 pm thinking we would sleep through - no luck - so we woke up and slammed 2 beers before the bars closed. Which just feels like i had beer and nothing else for breakfast, which is h-a-i-r-y. So i blog.
warsaw is pretty cool, and also supposed to be the low point of the trip...so outlook is good. this city is very cosmopolitan, plenty of hipsters (especially of the female type) and clean and new and easy. Apparently (according to rick steves, my only source of info at the moment) this town was completely leveled during WWII and then rebuilt by stalin and then modernized - so the very, very random mix of solviet, modern and post modern architecture is kind of amazing.
we plan to continue resetting our clocks and attempting to conserve funds (we made pasta for dinner tonight) before heading to Cracow (how its spelled) Friday for a more historic Poland fix. Again, it seems that we are simply scaffolding for Prague.
Sorry for the lack of pics...we have yet to come by a USB port on a public computer, which are harder to find because everyone has laptops and hostels just offer wifi here. so. I. am. missing, longing for, in fact, my 10 year old dell. because I could probably watch some Netflix right now from my bed.
(some late-night bitterness defending my lust for nyc living used to be here but I opted to delete as opposed to offend)
i miss my kid and im oddly hungover. But in a few hours i'll (wake up?) to 70 degrees and sunny in Poland and I'll still be unemployed. lucky girl.
cheers, jenn.

Hey you girrls!
Great to hear from you - we miss you too. Even tho he is not great at blogging or texting or even chatting yet, he does miss his mommy. Yesterday, when we finally saw birds at the feeder (he has been stressing about that) he said "I can tell my mom about that!" and (really!) "Lets call her right now." So I tried. But the Travelocity number connected me to a long-wait-time service to change your itinerary, cancel your trip or to change reservtions. Now maybe if I wait long enough (I'll try again tonight) it will get thru to someone who can set up a call, but did not happen last time. But I will tune him into the blog when he gets up from nap and maybe he will write you a note. or dictate. I am trying to keep a journal of his month here, but it takes time... but I am trying.
Hope the jet lag passes quickly and you can get on with the trip. Weather here is warm, but not hot yet, with scattered rain. We have finished swim lessons with a bang!! Just set up a competitive situation with another four-year-old, and the kid will swim forever!!! Too much.
We are having a great time - new sandals, swiming at Heman Park Pool, library books, and silver speed racers! All good.
Have a great time - we love you!!
Mom
