oops, a new problem
Monday 09:21 (local time)
Well, as I was getting ready to go to the train station, the car rental company called to tell me the total charges. That's when I found out that there is a 1,30 Złoty per kilometer charge to return the car to a different city. It would amount to several hundred dollars. I read their website carefully and there was no mention of that. I thought it was a national car rental company, but it seems they are just a national broker for several local companies. So, now my plan is to take the train to Krakow and rent a car there and drive to Zakopane. I end up getting there about the same time.

lucky me
I just got lucky. But, I didn't get her name.
No, seriously. I was packing last night and ended up with far more baggage than I can handle on a bus to the train station. So, I came into the kitchen this morning and asked if someone could drive me to the train station. First, they told me that the train that I thought went from the school into the city at 07:56 actually didn't. I had the wrong schedule. The next train didn't leave until 09:18 and it's a 20 minute ride to the city. My train is scheduled to leave at 09:48. That's cutting it close--especially with baggage.
But, then Andrzej said he could drive me. He drives the van for the school and drove us to the lake our first night here. We leave at 09:00. That shoud be plenty of time.
Now, I have a few minutes to try to contact the car rental place in Warsaw. But, I am picking up the car in Wrocław. I got an email yesterday that they would call me after 08:00 today, but I don't know if my phone works here, and I'm not getting a signal right now.

saying goodbye
The students had their final dance last night and many of them got all teary-eyed. It was sweet.
In the afternoon, we had our graduation ceremony. Each homeroom class did a little song or skit. We sang "Father Abraham." I was totally silly and the kids were loud and silly, too. We were the only homeroom that made the audience cheer for an encore. I was proud of that.
This morning, several of the students woke up to see us off to Berlin. They will be leaving with their parents throughout the day. I got hugs from a group of boys this morning. I had forgotten how much I enjoy being at camp. It's a huge ego boost and a great way to spend the summer.

busy schedule
I've posted to my blog again.
I also have some more pictures posted to Picasa. http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/danielroz
Tomorrow we are going to Berlin, and on Sunday we leave for several days of touring Poland to Zakopane and Krakow. So, I may have limited access to the internet for the next week.
On Saturday, July 26 (Happy Birthday, Carol) Sarah and I are going to Lublin for a day. On Sunday, July 27, we fly from Warsaw to Paris. On Tuesday morning, we take the Eurostar express train to London and then after lunch fly from Heathrow home to Philly. So in the next 11 days, we will be in 7 major cities in five different countries on two continents.
