So, by now you know my issues with moving these things around! No explanation needed! The mess in the hallway is our frantic packing to move; the picture of the city square is from Old Town Warsaw, which actually isn't that old-pretty much all of Warsaw was destroyed as the Germans withdrew at the end of WWII, it's all been rebuilt to look like it originally did; the picture of the front of the flat in Warsaw shows a man and his three daughters--apparantly the daughters were not so pretty, so he had these very flattering pictures painted on the front of the flat to try to get husbands for them--I think it was the first e-harmony and don't get any ideas dad!!!!; the doughnut looking things are called pounchkis and people eat many of them on Fat Thursday which was yesterday--just like our Fat Tuesday only, um Thursday--the wrapped candies are chocolate covered roasted plums and are DELICIOUS!!-they're for eating every day of the week if it were up to me!; finally, this is the riveting game of Hot Heart---please notice who is taking the picture and ALREADY OUT!!!

Ok, so the chocolate-covered roasted plums taste better than they sound. They're advertising pouchkis at the Polish bakery in Amherst.
About the pix on the building. If you click on them for a closer view - not so flattering! In fact, one is nakie!!I'm surprised you're not better at hot heart, after all those games of hot pumpkin.
Thoughts going through my head as I read your blog:
~Roaches?!?!
~Moving under the cover of darkness, as in the Von Trapp family?
~Washer/toilet connection?!?!
~Huge mall= Yay!
~chocolate covered roasted plums= yay!
~real-life Polish pouchkis= yay!
~Basia...hmm...remember you gave me a tape of Basia, way back when? And I believe it was from her London/WARSAW tour....hmmm....perhaps?
Hey there! I hope you're doing great, and enjoying all the new things you get to experience! Yay for Mexican food... does it compare to Texas Mexican food, or was it more "taco bell"? We had a store in our mall that sold Polish pottery - really cool stuff.
YEA for new photos and updates! Lori, I was thinking the exact same thing about moving in the night..."The hills are alive with the sound of music....". I'm so glad the new flat is better. Do you have an address yet????
So glad to hear you are all moved and safe. I can't imagine moving with 2.5 hours notice.I have had punchkis in past years around Fat Tuesday too(by the way the spelling here is something like Paczki??-- is that true Polish spelling or just Stow Giant Eagle Spelling?) I could like the chocolate plums but am glad for my "roach free/washer that drains into the drain" abode. Aunt Jenni
Hey Jessica!!!! I see everything is going good so far for you. Aunt Norma sends us updates on you but this time she sent the link to read your blogs. I enjoy reading what you have to say and find it interesting. I have had my share of Mexican food in Texas. But I am a picky eater when it comes to Mexican food. Sometimes I'm not sure what something is and I surely won't eat it. Things are going okay here. I miss home a whole lot, but I will be going home in April to visit. Joe is getting big and really enjoys Pre-K. I think he is really too smart for the class and the teacher says he is really smart, but this is where he has to staty until Kindergarten. Nick definitely has changed alot. I miss him more than words can say. I can't even type it without tearing up.
Well I better get going. Talk to you soon
