parent&#8217;s home).\u00a0 After visiting grandma we went to see Derek&#8217;s cousin who also lived close by.\u00a0 Ula and Andrzej has a daughter, Ania, who spoke a bit of English so Kama finally got to talk to someone without a translator.\u00a0 Yea&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>A week later we decided to visit Derek&#8217;s father&#8217;s side of the family.\u00a0 Tato (Polish for dad) decided to drive us to his old hometown in Ostrow where he also wanted to stop by and visit Derek&#8217;s grandfather&#8217;s grave.\u00a0 We took a small detour to see a cathederal where Kama and Tato went up to the towers.\u00a0 It was so windy we were afraid to stand outside for too long.\u00a0 Great view though and lots of fun trying to communicated to Tato that I was okay and wasn&#8217;t afraid of heights.\u00a0 Where&#8217;s my translator?\u00a0 LOL!!!<\/p>\n<p>After a brief visit to the gravesite, we fianlly made it to Ostrow where Derek&#8217;s aunts still lives at the farm.\u00a0 The town is very small with only about 500 residents and about 100 houses top.\u00a0 There were cows and sheeps in the fields.\u00a0 Derek&#8217;s aunt, Lidzia, and her husband was at a wedding when we arrived and so we were greeted by their sons Krystian and his wife Anita, Tomek, and Dariusz (yes, another Derek).\u00a0 Tato left the next day and we stayed for a few more days visiting.\u00a0 The last night was spent at Derek&#8217;s cousin&#8217;s house with Lena, Andrzej, and their son Hubert.\u00a0 Both parents are teachers and had their son take English class so they were excited to have us speak with Hubert.\u00a0 We had a great time seeing everyone and hope to see them again soon.\u00a0 Maybe someone would visit us in the US sometime?.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of our time in Poland was spent with family though.\u00a0 We spent a lot of time at home with Derek&#8217;s parents while we rested and relaxed.\u00a0 We pretty much got spoiled rotten here, so much food.\u00a0 We also visited Derek&#8217;s friend, Marcin who also spoke English (yea!), got to see Market square, Ostrow Tumski (with 1000 year old cathederal), Derek&#8217;s old university, lots of malls, antique markets, and
