greetings in polish!

today is a lazy day.
we are at a motel just accross the german/polish border.
daddy made us miss the 'welcome to poland' sign.
we have yet to sucessfully take a picture of such a sign. this does not please me.
experienced first proper rain last night and this morning as we were camped just outside berlin.
berlin was nice and impressive making us feel as though we were on a holiday which, believe me, is not the case.
daddy and tessie's first taste of alcohol since tuesday was somewhat of an event as daddy's 'withdrawal symptoms' subsided for the first time in 2 days. praise the Lord.
i am doing my best to impart my vast french language knowledge to lewis. i should take a while.
hoping to stay with friends in lodz tonight. this will undoubtedly be one of our last outposts of civilisation before russia.
