Every trip there's one day that goes wrong. That day was today. In 20 years I've never missed a train connection because the train was delayed. Today we missed two connections because of two train delays. So a trip that was supposed to last 6 hours lasted almost 14. I was, as always, hugely impressed and thankful for the good spirits and patience of the students--here waiting in a train station in Ostrava. And--as a reward, a few of them who ventured out with me during our delay in Katowice discovered a hole in the wall restaurant where we had the best pierogies I've ever eaten. I won't steer you wrong. . .
