Could It Be the Polish Mob?

Saturday, Tom and I crossed the border into rural Poland. I don't believe in driving and taking photos at the same time (Germans can't drive and be on the cell phone) so at his insistence I began taking all the great pictures he was missing. I offered to drive but you know men!

"Just put the camera up and click, it's digital, it doesn't matter if it's not good!" "OK!"

Well ,we turned onto this winding, small road for farm shots and an old church. A mile in, all at once, we met about six cars going the other way. Pulling up to the church Tom said , "Just snap it!" So I did! Well I didn't get the church but weird stares from four people, three of whom are pictured above. Oops! We didn't really want to see a church--did a U turn--and headed out! Tom was a bit jumpy, "Why did you take their picture?" He said just snap it and I did! Interestingly enough we passed the same six cars then coming back to the church.

Could be the start to a suspense filled travel novel, don't you think? We watched our rear view
mirror until the border. The coast looked clear!
