Poland Road Trip 2008
The freeway turned out to be a two-lane road winding through woods and villages. It was hard to recognize the jumbled alphabet names as we whizzed past the road signs. Just in time for lunch we saw one we understood.
There were several tricky round-abouts, and we twice discovered we had taken off in the wrong direction (after reaching the city on the opposite side of the map!) but within five hours we saw this welcome sight:
Southeastern Poland
Around the bend we heard a zillion crows,
(Look close. . .)
and got a glimpse of the town.

We were looking for traces of ghosts. We weren't sure where we'd find them, but our experience told us they would be looking for us, too. Long-lost ancestors are usually right where they've always been, and with a little digging their stories come back to life. That's our specialty.
Trzesniow Sod Roof
and small ones that had seen better days.
It was raining when we crested a little hill and saw what we were looking for.

Trzesniow Church
A church usually means a cemetery, and that's a good place to start hunting for ghosts.
