Happy Thanksgiving Eve!











It's Thanksgiving tomorrow, and the girls and I will be going out in Kazimierz, hopefully to Propaganda (although without butter, I am uncertain how we will all fit in the building). Propaganda is a wonderfully kitch bar which is plastered from stem to stern with Communist (you guessed it) propaganda posters from pre-1989.




Actually let me see if I have a picture tucked in here...yup.
This supreme level of awesome could only be contained in Krakow, I'm convinced. After tonight is St. Andrew's night, where everyone gets their party on before the start of advent, the following day. I don't know what advent is, being a heathen and all, but I guess I will come to a decent understanding when I live through it here.
In a little over three weeks (believe me, we have been counting down the days) I will arrive in London to meet my amazing fiance and go to Stonehenge for winter solstice. Then to meet his family and get married before I head for Budapest to start off my spring semester in Hungary. For those of you who are interested, I will be renting an apartment in Szeged after my entry tour and my hubby will come out to live with me there. I can hardly wait!

The stuff that goes down while I'm away.

Boo.
I'm in Krakow, Poland, studying abroad until mid-December. I will go to Hungary in January, and will be spending the interim with my fiance in York, England.
I'm having a great time, and have fallen deeply in heart with honey beer and pierogies, European fashion, and glomke (which is rice and meat wrapped in cabbage.
Getting lost and not speaking Polish are my newest skill sets. Thank you for the thundering applause! I have been posting some pictures on my other site, www.greenchairtraveler.blogspot.com . Take a gander if you get bored. Much lovies!
