Today we woke up early and sadly we had to say goodbye to Gosia and her family. After several wonderful days in Poland it was time to move on. We took a small bus through the mountains where I saw the first snow of the year. We got off at a random train station and then Sister Mary Paul knew of a secret path through the woods next to some train tracks. It was a dirt path and when we came out on the other side, we were behind some buildings in the Czech Republic! I felt like a refugee, but since the Czech Republic is part of the European Union it really was not that big of a deal :) In the Czech Republic we found a two liter of Dr. Pepper which we are savoring. We also had a major fail on some pizza that tasted like bread with ketchup, salsa, and jelly with unidentifiable white substance that may have been some form of cheese, but we were hungry so we forced ourselves to swallow anyway! Then we took a bus to Slovakia and after walking across Bratislava, we had a latte and cappuccino before taking another bus to Hainburg. When we arrived the motion detector light behind the gate was on. Sister was scared because the only thing that can set if off is something rather large that is moving around. She gave me the key and when I opened the gate it was a large rat of some sort. It ran behind a board and I'm pretty sure I killed it. We got really freaked out. Then we dropped our stuff off and took a walk. We found a nice restaurant and had Wienerschnitzel and wheat beer! I wonderful end to a wonderful day.
I miss Fr. Peter. We will be picking him up from the airport tomorrow and he will tell us all about his meeting in Spain. Can't wait!
Czech Republic!
