Lost in Radom

Wednesday 5 June 1996 | general

I got lost today for the first time! It took me two hours to get from downtown Radom to the house. I kept wandering around, looking for a 24 stop, but none was to be found. It was frustrating, to say the least. I finally asked two police officers – they were little or no help. I finally determined that the #15 could, in theory, take me back. The driver was a great help when I asked him for help.

When I finally got home I was very relieved but really wanted to talk to someone close to me. Then I was talking to Piotr about tomorrow and he told me that bus 24 will not be running (It’s Corpus Christi) and I thought, “Great – more adventures on the bus!”

Other than getting lost I had a great time this afternoon. Five of us spent the day exploring Radom. It was great fun, and I feel I am making great friends.

I’m feeling better and better about my Polish everyday as I learn a couple of things here and there (tu and tam).

We’ve only been here two whole days now and already it feels like a week. I guess it’s because we’re so busy and there’s so much to take in.

Today was a beautifully bright and sunny day – such a contrast with yesterday when it was cold and windy. I took my North Face shell just in case but didn’t need it at all, so I just lugged it all over the place. Of course it is so very heavy . . .

I stay so very tired – of course walking all over Radom today did wonders for my alertness. Still, without all that walking I am sure I would still be so very tired. I am wondering if it’s still just jet-lag. I should be sued to the time by now, but perhaps I’m not.

I am going to sleep now . . .
