Vicki's cousin picked us up at the airport, and drove us straight to Bialystok to her grandparent's house. After a quick lunch, we went to a soccer game. The final score was 0-0, and I had more fun watching the fans than the actual game. Apparently they like to fight the fans of the opposing team, and the police were ready and waiting with a firetruck to hose them down.
I don't think I'm too sure of how all the rules work, but it was easy to tell what was going on - when the fans were happy, there was singing and dancing. When the ref made a bad call.. well, let's just say I learned a few new swear words.
The next day, we walked around town a bit. Here's the street we're staying on, it's called ul. Przygodna - Adventure Street.
We took a walk to the park, then came back by walking through town, past the museum.
That's all for today - the time change is still messing with our internal clocks a bit, and we're sleeping at odd hours. If I take a nap right now, I might be okay later in the evening. Bye!

Wow, Not So Swatchy! You are staying on Adventure Street?
I'm glad you got to a soccer game. My husband and I are serious soccer fans. I could have filled you in on the rules if I was there. When I first started watching soccer, I didn't understand the fuss that fans made. But now? I completely understand why fans cry at some losing games. The fighting, I don't get so much. But the passion? Yes!
Where are you in relation to Warsaw? I want to look up on a map where you are.
Yep, we're staying at 19 Adventure Street! Bialystok is northeast of Warsaw, a bit more than an hour's drive east is the border with Belarus.
