Polish Hospitality

It has been awhile since I posted. Here is a little update of what I have been up to. Over the weekend, we traveled to Gniezno to visit my brother-in-law's girlfriend and meet her family. Her family lives in a cute village (of about 400 people) outside of the city. It was the first time since I have been in Poland that I have actually been in a house similar to those in the United States. I will also add that it was a very beautiful house.

One of the things I love most about Polish people is how generous they are and how much they love having guests. I have never felt more welcomed anywhere that I have been despite the language barrier. Our trip to Gniezno was another example of genuine Polish hospitality. Despite never having met my husband or I, the family we stayed with were so kind and happy to have us there. They even spoke some English! I also tasted one of the most delicious cakes made with apricots. It was a very enjoyable stay and I loved meeting my future sister-in-law's (I hope) parents!
