It took exactly 24 hours for the children to adjust to the 7 hour time change. It took me 2.4 days to adjust from the lack of sleep during the travel. From Cleveland to Paris, by plane. Paris to Warsaw, by plane. Warsaw to a village (my grandparent's town), by bus. Three days of travel with three children, one with stitches from Paris, to see my grandparents and parents in their fatherland... priceless. I have a picture. THE picture. Of my grandmother, my mother, me and my girls. I got it and I would spend huge amounts of money, sweat, travel, time changes and sleepless nights to do it all over again. My grandmother at 80 some years old still lines up her tiny little stilettos in order by color. She puckers up her tired lips to color them a pale shade of pink. She carefully picked out a vibrant yellow sweater and skirt for our photo session this afternoon. She is so stinking adorable. I am so grateful that we FINALLY made the trip over seas to walk a couple of days besides them. Reporting again from a Polish disco, this time very well rested a bit more coherent, and a lot more appropriately dressed. Still no spell check and limited Internet time. I have a mob of college soccer players peering over my shoulder and they just called me "Pani" which basically means "Old Lady." |
