We’ve gone to the outdoor train museum in Chabowka at least twice before: once with L and her cousin S in 2013, once just the Boy and I in either 2015 or 2017. Either way, he was a very little boy the last time we went, so I thought he might enjoy it more as a ten-year-old.

“You mean we get to go in any of those that are open?!” he asked incredulously as we entered.

It was, to say the least, a hit.

But it wasn’t as much of a hit as it could have been: the heat drained us both, and we were certainly less than overwhelmingly enthusiastic as we finished up the visit. If there had been more trains to explore, I think we would have called it quits nonetheless.

It’s strange: the temperatures here aren’t anything ridiculous compared to what we experience at home. The high today didn’t even reach the 90s. But it still somehow managed to feel hotter than I would have expected 88 degrees to feel. Indeed, Poland lacks to intense humidity of South Carolina, so I would expect 88 degrees in Poland to feel cooler than it would in SC.
