Today, we took a couple of short plane rides from Krakow, to Warsaw, to Jarocin where we met up with Tom's maternal relatives. We spent these 3 days in Jarocin...did we mention that our interpreter finished his time with us... sharing family information, pictures and having an experience with navigating Google Translate. Poznan is where Maciej, who was our first contact with someone from Poland lived. Poznan is a city of over 500,000 people however we focused on the reason of the trip, relatives.
We spent a lot of the time just focusing on who's who. Fortunately, Bronek and Joan were able to communicate somewhat, especially with pictures of relatives that were labeled.
We did take a little tour of the city and drove by the school where Tom's 2nd cousins went to school .
There is nothing like a wonderful surprise. Tom's 70th birthday was while we were in Poznan and what made it even more special was that Happy Birthday was sung to Tom in Polish.
