I have some catching up to do on my writing about the UK. I am already in Cracow , yet have not shared with you information about London. There is lots to tell. I will try to write more about the UK over the next few days so I can after that mentally move on to being in Poland. I ought to write now before my English suffers! Be prepared for funny English within the week as my Polish kicks in!
One note about how things come full circle. I arrived in Cracow yesterday to learn of the death that day of one of Cracow's/Poland's greatest playwrights Slawomir Mrozek. I mention this because I met him around 13 years ago at a book signing here in Cracow on his 70th birthday. I had read a portion of one of his plays at the Language Summer School of Jagiellonian University. My American-Ukrainian friend Ola from Columbus wanted to speak with him at the book signing. There is my brush with fame. I did end up buying his latest book. He signed it for me.
Now back to London.
