Update From Poland

Ok -- So internet access here in Hel is spotty however we are on and we are having fun in the area and with Waldek, Ewa & Alex. Our drive from Plock was interesting as our rented GPS unit in our less than together van broke the morning we were supposed to depart. We spent an hour trying to reset it and get it working again but because the screen was cracked from the beginning I believe it just could not function anymore -- so enter the wonderful maps provided by Mom and Dziadek....They saved us as we navigated the roads via maps and help from the lord -- 6 hours later we arrived in Hel @ the camp ground where Waldek and Ewa were staying. We checked in and sat down for some dinner with them.  

Wednesday we woke up to rain and clouds again and Waldek and Ewa decided it best to head into the actual town of hel about 30km away and see the city, a maritime museum and take a ferry ride through the bay. It was quite chilly but the kids really enjoyed it. We have taken some beautiful pictures as it is absolutely lush, green, and beautiful here. 

Now it is Thursday around 11am we are here at teh cafe next to the beach, kids are playing on a sandy playground and the weather has turned sunny and warmer (but not Warm)...I would say it is a cool 62 right now and breezy. We have had a few nights of nice conversation with Waldek and Ewa and have enjoyed their enjoyment of planning the next days since they are the resident experts here. Today Waldek wishes me to try windsurfing however it is really really cool and I am not sure we will make it. Tomorrow to Gdansk for some sightseeing while Waldek prepares his camper for storage for the summer as they will not be back for a few months. Sunday it is back to Warsaw for some meetings with schools and on the way a middle ages Teutonic Knights Castle called Malbork....More to come as the days progress and as we have internet access.

Love to you all and thanks for the prayers...

Gabe, Cheryl, Alexxis, Natalie, Payton & Preston...
