Greetings! Today is my third full day in Policka. This has been a great experience.
The town is really cute. Yesterday I was thinking, as we walked about 2 and 1/2 miles to Jitka's house, that I was glad we had to walk everywhere because I had the chance to really look and see everything around us. Walking also allowed us to decide to stop off at the cemetery and look around just because it looked interesting. Each day we have done a lot of walking to see different parts of the town and I am still surprised at how many people are out walking around. It is really refreshing to see more people than cars moving through the streets, and we have run into acquaintances of Jamie and Jeremy so I have met 'extra' people here.
We have spent time with the glass artist,Vlada, and also about 8 hours with Jitka and her parents Jan and Maria. Everyone has been so hospitable, serving good food and plenty of spirits(rum and beer and walnut liquor and apricot liquor and wine) and our conversations have been wonderful and funny! Jamie is at this moment cooking me an authentic Czech meal: Leak soup and fruit dumplings. After lunch we will visit a nearby town. I am looking forward to all the new people I will meet here and the new sites I will see!!!
Jamie's mom, Debbie

Deb, I have been checking in each day hoping I would hear how things were going and you even wrote! It sounds like you are having a great time. How neat that you are there seeing all of the places and people Jamie and Jeremy have talked about. Enjoy! Happy New Year to all of you.
Rob and I are actually doing something for the first time in years. We are taking an Otter's bus trip. We leave here at 2:45, go to the game in Niagara, go to the casino for a few hours, see the fireworks over the Falls, and head home. Should be fun. Love, Sallie
Deb, I'm glad you're having such a good time. Nice picture too. Give my love to Jamie and Jeremy and Happy New Year to you all. Love, Mom
Happy new year my adventurous friend. I am so happy to hear of the fabulous time you are having. Love & blessings to you, Jamie & Jeremy.
