Finally a chance to say more about our trip to Poland.
May 1- 4 We stayed in Rzeszow (sounds like Jezoff) with Robert Kurecki and his wife Wiesa and children Michal and Kasia. Robert took us to the nearby castle of Łańcut on our first day in Poland. The history of Łańcut stretches back to the early Middle Ages, founded as a town in 1349 under King Casimir the Great.
Here is a picture of the castle and another of Stan and I eating our first Zapekankes. Zapekankes are delicious--half a baguette, first covered with minced mushrooms then covered with a paprikas sauce and garnished with cucumbers, corn, peppers, and cheese.
The following day, Robert and Michal took us on a tour of the first commercial oil wells in the world at Bobrka. http://www.geo.uw.edu.pl/BOBRKA/index.htm
