Although the school year in Germany only ends in late July, there are several long weekends and vacations in late May and June that make it feel like the school year is already winding down. F and B both had last week off and we took advantage of the break to travel to the island of Usedom on the Baltic Sea. L took a day off and we spent 4 lovely nights in a thatched roof cottage in a sleepy village on the island. It was peaceful and beautiful. We explored our sleepy village taking advantage of the neighborhood farmer to buy fresh rolls every morning and homemade jam. We made excursions to the beachside towns, rented bicycles, and trampolined at the seaside. Half of the island of Usedom is Poland, so one our final day we drove to Poland and spent the day exploring the beach there. It was my first time in Poland since living there for 6 months back in 1999, and I have to say I was smitten. The Poles won me over with the no smoking sign at the playground and the pristine beaches. Overall a lovely vacation. I think we will certainly be returning to Usedom.
