Forks in the Trail: Konin, Poland - February 2006, Our Hood

Forks in the Trail

We quit our jobs, sold our house, housed our dog with good friends, put everything else in storage and left Reno, Nevada to take some time to pursue other interests. Since then we have spent a couple months in our hometowns in Oregon, traveled within the US with friends and family and are presently wandering around Europe with 2 backpacks and a rail pass. After Europe we intend to continue traveling to the Middle East, Africa, Southern Asia, Australia and finally the Pacific Islands.

Konin, Poland - February 2006, Our Hood

April: Let me begin by saying that I feel very fortunate with this opportunity in Poland. The town of Konin may be small and the people may not always smile, but I like it. Everyday offers new challenges for me. Simple things like going to the grocery store, buying bus tickets, or mailing a package, can be very time consuming and frustrating. These difficulties make the experience that much better though. I was surprised after going to America this past February that I was happy to be back in Europe. I was worried that I would miss our friends, family, and Scout too much. The truth is that I do, but that is the huge sacrifice taken to make this journey. So, the plan is to take advantage of our current location in Poland and travel as much as possible until the project is complete for Royce.
