The ride to Przemsil was a one full of ups and downs... literally. Rolling hills provided a chance to work pretty hard for the 103km ride.
On reaching our destination we found our hosts Aneta and Pete, Victor and Conrad at home waiting for our arrival. Yet again, food was ready for us: soup, potatoes and salad. Delicious. After the kids head off to bed, we start chatting about Ireland (they lived there for 4 years before 2004), American politics and our bike ride.
Early start the next morning, even managing to be all packed and on the road by 9:30. Ante had a brilliant idea to have us as a "show and tell" in the school inwhich she is teacher. So off we go to school. Andrew and I present to several different classes our bike ride, using our maps to illustrate the past and future route. We get a tour of the school by Aneta, who is suitably proud of how developed the school is and the dedication of the teachers. Even get to go to the headmistress' office for a chat. Some fascinating facts about the school: before the final exams the teachers and students sleep over in the school to revise for the exams and chill out a bit; physically and mentally disabled children learn in the same classrooms as other children.
