I went to Nowy yesterday on the 9:18 bus and got home at almost 10:00 last night because I made a spur of the moment trip to Zakopane with Charles and James. It was a most rewarding day. I always enjoy time with James, and Charles is Charles.

The ride to Nowy Targ was a pain in the ass. The bus was really late getting to centrum and the driver was anxious to get back on schedule. As a result, he was a bit test. He shoved me from the door so that others could squeeze in. It pissed me off, for he was treating everyone with a complete lack of respect. I didn’t buy a ticket because I didn’t want to have to deal with him. When we got to N.T. I went ahead and paid even though I could have just walked on out. He commented on my honesty, I think.

At the Zakopane market I bought a Zenit–the more expensive model. I am really pleased with it so far. It has a light meter built in, unlike the other one I was looking at. I like the added security it provides. Since I paid 400 zl for it, though, I was unable to get the zoom lens. I’ll get it some other time.

So today is Roy’s big day. I’ve got a couple of PC X’s staying with me, and it will make for a busy weekend, to be sure. And of course I am a bit excited for myself because it will be my very first Polish wedding. It promises to be at the very least somewhat surreal.
