You cannot fall twice into the same river, because the river is different every time. And so are you.

This river is not the river of beautiful Babice, the Galician village about four hours from Krakow where Frank and I spent a magical yesterday, visiting the school where his grandmother Franciszka Zybura earned excellent marks in the early years of this century. Many thanks to the friendly people of Babice and their talented children for a wonderful welcome, about which I plan to write more once I get to someplace where my own computer, and the 133 photos I took there, can connect to the internet.

Right now, this hotel computer and a search through Flickr for a photo both “autumn” and “river” have to be stand-ins. Thanks also so much to the Piotr Haszczyn, the correct spelling of whose name is in my computer and not this one, the talented rector of Babice’s primary school, who arranged all these very complex events that I should now be packing instead of blogging about!
