Happy Fourth of July to America!

We celebrated 4th of July by taking the day off. The children got to go to the indoor aqua park, while the American team was taken by bus to a nearby town of Zakopone. The children had a blast in all the water. The Poland team came back exhausted. In fact, Luckasz, who was supposed to write this post came down with a terrible cold. We hope he feels better soon you can read "through the eyes" from someone from the Poland team.

The American team dashed in and out of the rain in Zakapone, but was able to take a tram to the top of a mountain. We saw spectacular views even though the tops of the mountains were hidden by dark rain clouds.

We kicked our evening worship with the American team singing our National Anthem. The children returned the favor with a rousing rendition of their Polish Anthem. It was a very touching moment. They have only been free from Communism for 23 years.

A short post because we need the rest.
