26 Hours In Warsaw

It’s hard to believe but one week ago I was in Warsaw. As I previously mentioned, I had no choice but to fly there for my long-term visa interview at the Czech Embassy. Much to my surprise and delight, the experience was a pleasurable one. The consular who interviewed me was friendly and engaging, sincerely wanting to help me secure my visa. He carefully crafted my responses to the standard questions as I spoke freely about my hopes and aspirations while living in the Czech Republic. When he made his final edits to the document, translated it back for me and I signed it, two hours had passed! So, now I wait. Again. When (and if) I am approved, I will have to fly back to Warsaw to pick up my visa in person at the Embassy.

Ghost Tour Update…..

Our talented tour guide dressed in a period costume Halloween night. The picture on the right shows the Old Jewish Cemetery where some 100,000 people are buried in a very cramped space. The wall you see behind the guide is not a cemetery built on a hill… bodies were buried 12 deep here, each one adding a layer and thus creating the hill. The cemetery began accepting tenants in the 1400’s and the last person was buried here in 1787. Sadly, we saw no ghosts that night!

Penny, you are on a fabulous venture throughout Europe. I’m delighted to hear how happy you are and how well important issues are being handled. I guess you’ll miss Thanksgiving (duh!), but Christmas is universal! Thank you for sharing so many wonderful events with us. Love/prayering for you!!
