zowie! i am in zakopane!
i am arrived and tucked away in the sweetest little hostel, nestled in the valley of zakopane, poland at the base of the tatras
this is an amazing place and the bus service is fantastic.
to get through the town from place to place there are these micro-busses
like glorybound minivans but they zip from stop to stop and get you where you need to go. and with a few well written place names and some pointing and gestures the drivers are very friendly and helpful to stray canadians.
i walk a little way into the park but it was afternoon when i arrrived here and thought as a very nonexpert in the ways of hiking i should wait until morning and hopefully better weather. so instead i wandered in the woods for awhile, the flowers are just beginning here and there ae the sweetest baby flowers.
after this it was a matter of walking down the road and locating a grocery- beer and (thankyou to thea) kafir (yogerty type thing) and cucumber made a nice addition to the kubasa i got in kracow. though i was yelled at (or at least lectured strictly) by a drunk old man in polish of course and i could not understand and this seemed to make him more upset. he was harmless though i thought it best to let him go first down the road with me at a good distance, which he did in a wobbly fashion and walked right in the local pub. i do not know if they would have feed him more.
supper was tasty goodness and i watched television again. . .the bbc news and then some sappy hallmark movie about americans being kidnapped by mad spanish men.
there are so many scrappy little dogs running around, every house seemsto have one, i have made friends with the pup who seems to live closeto the hostel.
if i have to wait for presents from germany someplace, then this is the best place to do it; better idea then staying in the big city. hopefully it will be here sooner rather than later because it is beauty FULL and i want to take pictures. the eye will have to do for now.
Take Care
Love, Ruth
