My first run since last Friday!!  I headed out and did some exploring.  I was able to get in 7 miles.  Enjoyed a slow morning with the family still working off the jet lag.  We set up more of the house and played games.  We walked to the grocery store.  Late in the afternoon, Sasha came with all our big luggage that we had stored in his garage.  We still do not have internet working.  It is nice to have our kids unplugged.

Note:  almost everything here is paid for in Polish currency.  Even the grocery store today did not take credit cards.  Thankfully, I brought FOUR ATM cards because most of the machines have a small daily limit.  I even had to pay the rental house payment in cash.  Yes, 10,000 Polish dollars ($3,000 US) is a wad of cash!!  Nevertheless, it is only a little over $100 per day so beats a hotel.

So, 4,500 Polish dollars for transportation.  1,200 Polish dollars for donation to orphanage.  10,000 Polish dollars for rental house.  1,500 Polish dollar advance for rental van.  500 Polish dollars for grocery store visit.  So each time I pass an ATM, we get more cash.
