Family Evje Travels

  Hello everyone,  This month it is my (Adam's) turn to write the monthly update. In April, we did many things. Let's start with our trip to Spain. It was lots of fun. We went to Málaga, Ronda, Cala de Mijas, Mijas Pueblo, Parauta, Fuengirola, and Marbella. We saw a holy week procession in Ronda. We also saw their beautiful medieval bridge. We had several beach days and ate LOTS of ice cream, paella, and tapas. We also went on a hike and I found a waterfall. One day we went to an olive oil processing facility and had a tour with an olive oil tasting. I liked some of the olive oil but not all of it. Our friend from Denmark, Karolina, came to spend the last three days with us and it was fun. On our last day in Spain we went go karting and it was awesome.  Every year in Polish school, each class goes on a sleepaway camp for a week in the country or mountains where you learn about the place’s history, people, and nature. It's called Green School (Zielona Szkoła) and I went on...

Well well if it isn't the middle of April. How the time does pass. This month it is my turn to write the update (Alex). March was another fun month here. Some highlights: We took a train from Karkow to Prague for a long weekend to see old friends of ours Jack and Agata (another Polish-American couple). The train was a fun experience for the boys, even if it was a little long for mom and dad (6 hours basically). The boys got to go in the front of the train with the driver. Monika and I have known Agata since the summer we met in 2008! (My god we are getting old). Prague continues to be a gorgeous city with excellent Czech beer; but it is no longer the cheap diamond in the rough it once was. It is very much on the tourist circuit now. We spent lots of time with our friends, including touring Jack's workshop where he makes prosthetics and puppets for the booming Prague film industry. So cool! We also did lots of walking around the Old Town and massive hilltop castle complex. Adam...
