Arrived in Berlin!

Against all odds we were able to navigate our way across the border of Poland and into germany. I only almost crashed the car twice. We are going out on a bar and pub tour of berlin tonight. German beer here I come.



Above you can see a statue in the town square of poznan poland, a polish flag, the air plane that we flew from munich to poland, and the cars in poland parking on the side walk.

Poland Day + 2

SO it has been two days and I still have not been able to post any pictures because they will not let me connect my camera to the computers here are the internet cafe in Poznan. We went to the dog show today, and no I didn't have a chance to see any corgi's for steve. My Mom's camera had a major memory card malfunction today, but you are in luck because I have another card. I am hoping that when we go to berlin tomorrow I will be able to upload some pictures. The weather here has been cold and wet, what a big surprise, eastern europe in november. We have had some good food, and yes pork is the meat of choice here in poland. We have parked our rental car 3 or 4 times, and have gotten 2 parking tickets so far. It was an adventure trying to figure out the parking ticket system, which was not in english. We decided that we may pay these when we give the car back at the end of our trip. Today I was able to wear clean cloths, because they lost my baggage when I got here on wednesday. The time change has been hard to adjust to, but not in the way that you would think. I would have thought that I would be up late and have trouble getting up in the morning, but the reverse is true. We are going to bed early and having no trouble getting up in the morning. Tomorrow we set out on the trans european adventure to find berlin. We don't really know how to get there or what the signs say, but with the grace of god we will make it and find a hotel with wi fi for a picture update. We are heading south west to berilin from poznan, but don't know what direction that is.(evan thanks for not reminding me to bring my compass, what an eagle scout you make), Well that about all that I can come up with for today, I would say that it is expensive to use the internet, but that would be a lie, its about a dollar an hour. So until tomorrow from germany, gutentag!

Lost in Poland

So apparently they will rent a car here in poland to just about any one. The fight went pretty well with both my mother and me sleeping most of the way, thanks in part to xanax. Against all odds we were able to navigate our way to the hotel in the dark, which is a feat considering there are no street signs at intersections. It is harder to find internet here than I thought it would be. When I finally found it, I realized that I forgot my cable to up link pictures. To my dismay, they didn't have wi-fi and so I was forced to use their computer, which is in polish. The word for the back button is (wstecz) and forward (dalej). We made it to the national museum which was filled with polish art dating back to the 1300's. We have been driving our rental car around town and have realized that driving here is rediclous, people park their car on the side walk (picture to follow), there are very few signs and when ther is a sign it is impossible to pronounce the street name. On the positive side, most restaurants have english on the menu and the people here speak some english. I will try to make it back here tomorrow with my camera cable and see if I can up load pictures. Thats all for now. Dana from eastern europe.

On the air plane flying over the atlantic

So I was unaware that airlines offered wireless internet in flight. I am some where over the atlantic flying towards munic germany. I have about 5 hours to go and are starting to get sleepy. I will be posting pictures of poland tomorrow, unless I have trouble finding an internet connection. Keep checking back and I will do my best not do disapoint any of my trusty audiance! Until tomorrow, Dana the world traveler!
