Hey everybody... we are in Krakow, finally. We spent way too much time getting here, wasting time in the hostel in Warsaw and then waiting for over two hours in the Warsaw train station for our train to show up. A nice Warsawian helped us figure out which train to get on. We have been really lucky here because everyone speaks English, really well. They are willing to help and often very friendly. After the wonderful helpful chick in the train station we got into a train car with a group that made fun of tourists in polish ( we think - the vibe was full of contempt) for the entire three hour train ride. By the time we got to Prague we were both kind of irritated, my toe hurt, and were kind of pissed about the wasted day. But we managed to make the most of it and found a great vegetarian restaurant to eat at, and generally wandered around the city. We watched some eastern European break dancers go at it in the Stare Miasto - the old town square. Then we wandered to the oldest church/tomb thing in Krakow. It was crazy. We also met some interesting people here at the hostel, some irish girls and french dudes. Interesting mix of people.
Hopefully we will be able to get some pictures up...we have some good ones of the architecture, the cities, some awesome graffiti and our messed up feet. We will figure it out soon. That is it for now, we have to go to sleep because we are getting up early to got to Auchwitz. Not the most cheerful day, but important nonetheless. Talk to ya later!

Great. A broken toe. Okay, here's the mom stuff. Dont mess with this - ice is good. keep it elevated, take care of it. I do understand that there is not much to be done - no casts or anything, but just dont blow it off. Whew! that's over.
Sorry about the bad vibe in the train. Have had my share of bad train experiences, but they are all balanced out by the very helpful, even life-saving folks who always show up just when you are desperate.
Am looking foward to seeing the pic. Showed Fisher the blog - not so interested in the updates, but was taken by the picture of mom's feet in boston. Include some face shots if you can. We got the post cards and he is recognizing both "fisher" and "mom" (that's just like Clifford's "mom").
Numbers and and playing with Twos and Threes and Fours and various combinations continues to intrigue. Weve been to the library, the pool several times, went to the zoo and saw the aminatron dinasaurs today, he ventures off to see Shasserres tomorrow. Its a regular carnival here.
Can you pick up these comments, by the way? Or should I e-mail some other way.
Love to you both - it sounds great. We are envious.
Mom
