We have now made it into our 3rd week in Gdansk, Poland. Time seems to be flying by. Luckily we have at least another 50 weeks left on our journey. Everyday we try to find a new activity to participate in. Yesterday we went to Leba which is a large national park full of sand dunes where people are not allowed to walk on. Its like being in a massive dessert full of rolling hills. It is an 8 KM walk along the shores and a 7 KM walk back through the forrest. Lots of walking but well worth it.
On Friday, we went out for Karolina's birthday who you have seen in some of the other posts. It was a lot of fun. The drinks were flowing. Our 3rd stop in the nights festivities put us at a Mexican restaurant, creatively called "The Mexican." All of the waiters and waitresses were Polish but they had a live Mariachi band. It is kind of Surreal being in a Poland at a Mexican Restaurant listening to Mariachi music. Anywho, the story we want to share with you all is ordering cheesecake. Mila and I ordered the cheesecake to wash down the Grande Margarita. All of a sudden, the lights go out and the band starts playing adventurous music. From the shadows comes Zorro fully dressed up with our cheesecake. It was awesome. He delivers it and then runs away. After Zorro, we went out to a club full of people 10 years younger than us, playing hip hop Polish music. We danced the night away. Well I moved my arms back and forth, but Emilia danced the night away.
Here are a few other pictures for your viewing pleasure
Emilia (and my hand) with her Babcia getting DRUNK! jk

Well that is all for now folks. We miss everyone very much and we can't wait till you come visit us. :-)
good post. mila has kind of a halo effect going on in the next-to-last picture (probably just excited that she met zorro :) the sand dunes look like fun, although next time i might suggest going sand dune buggying. you guys both look like you're tanning, too; okay, scott doesn't, he's still the same pasty acutane-white as always, but mila's definitely getting there. we'll have to hook up on skype at some point in the near future, no? ciao.
