Another lazy day
I am not a bit surprised that after yesterday's adventures I slept 12 hours and still felt tired. The temperature outside was rising quickly and the predictions were for about 90 degrees F during the day.
Great excuse to keep reading my book ("Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn, two thumbs up!) and cook something yummy.
I made baby ...
Up in the mountains for a day
... a little because I've been here so many times, not only with Ania and Marek but also with summer camps when I was a school girl.
I took a bus to Ustron near by because it has a ski lift that takes you 995 meters above the sea level and from there you can see gorgeous Beskidy mountains.

We celebrated Ania's Nameday with a nice supper at home and Ania's favorite bottle of wine.
For she truly is a jolly good fellow!
