    David and Joan,
    I've just learned of your blog. Very interesting. Regarding your frustration about no heat until a certain day. I think that is rather common in apartments here in Chicago. No heat until Oct. 1.

    I've been to Poland a couple of times and loved it. I think it is quite brave of you to MOVE there, however, What made you decide to do so and how did you prepare for it?
