Day 17 - July 21th - By Lolo

Today we woke up after a night of partying hard-y with the rest of our group after a job well done with our marathon concert in Krakow.  Rzeszow is not necessarily far away (only about 80 miles) but given all the traffic jams in Poland recently, we needed to leave early to have plenty of travel time.  Just before we left we were able to have an amazing obiad at a very nice restaurant.  Needless to say we well fed before leaving Krakow.  An hour into our bus ride Peter almost peed his pants because our bus driver took forever to make sure the bus was in the right position while continuously slamming on the brakes throwing people in the aisles.  I didn’t know the bus we chartered was actually a rollercoaster ride.  Right before we left, some Lowiczanie dancers struck up a conversation with fellow foreigners on the Rynek (Market Square), and it turned out they were Canadians……as well as dancers going to Rzeszow who happened to be trying to find Lowiczanie because they were assigned to travel in their same bus. Quite the coincidence!  We finally got to Rzeszow and the group went out to meet the rest of their festival companions, with whom we would spend the next week.
