Poland

Sunday, May 11, 2014

   We decided to drive to Poland since we were just about 10 km from the border. We drove to Cesky Tesin – a town that sits on the border. The Polish side of town is called Cieszyn. It was pretty much a straight shot down the road from our chateau. We crossed the Olse River into Poland and found a nice playground on the Polish side. The kids rode the scooters from the parking lot to the playground and thn across a bridge connecting the Czech Republic with Poland. 

   We wanted to have lunch in Poland but when we finally found a square with a lot of restaurants, there was only paid parking (all full anyway). We did not have any Euro coins to use in the parking ticket machine so we kept driving. When we finally found a restaurant and a parking spot in the same vicinity we were back in the Czech Republic. We had a nice lunch and then stopped by a grocery store for some good snacks. 

   From there we drove to Regina’s house. I made plans to visit with her while Steve and Petr and a few other guys went hunting. Steve was expected at Petr’s house at 5 PM so Stevie and Hannah stayed with Regina while I drove him there.
