GSE on the seashore in Kołobrzeg, Poland - May 28 - 31

After returning to Wroclaw for a couple of days following Swidnica, we boarded a train Sunday morning for Kołobrzeg. The three hour train ride to Wroclaw was only a warm-up for the seven hours we road as far North as possible. Kolobrzeg (pronounced Kowobzheg)is a small (50,000) city on the Baltic Coast. We were very excited to arrive at the Baltic Sea and were greeted at the train station by several Rotarians.

Monday, our first full day in Kolobrzeg, we enjoyed a tour of the city that included a short tour out into the Baltic Sea on a large vessel as well as an unplanned jaunt in a rowboat with some of the maritime academy students. Ann grew up in California and Seth, Jerry and I love the beach as well, so we really enjoyed being at the beach. We only wish the weather had been a little warmer and drier so that we could have taken better advantage of our time there. Seth did go swimming one evening!
