Prosze panstwa do gazu

We're leaving in a couple days and this blog is so behind. Since our Finland trip we also went to Wroclaw and Krakow, plus a Polish wedding... I have a feeling we'll be finishing blogging in the States. So it goes.

An important revision to an earlier post: when we were in the spa town near the Skull Chapel, the spa offered CO2 baths, whatever that is. As we were trying to figure it out, Meghann and C--- went in, and I hesitated in the doorway. A very nicely dressed older woman, perhaps in her 70s, said to me, "Prosze panstwa do gazu" or "This way for the gas, ladies and gentlemen." A Holocaust joke, of course, but very literary. Google will tell you all, if you don't already know. I almost fell over laughing. And she said it with such a wry grin.

Anyway, soon, I hope, more on Finland. Further on and further up!
