Day 18 - July 15, 2018; Can you See the Sea?

Sadly, it was today that we had to part with Mom again. In the morning, we woke up and walked to the cafe where we had first gotten breakfast. I got milk and an apple pastry, Isabella had grapefruit juice and her usual cheese covered pastry. Meanwhile, Dad had a sandwich like he had the day before. After breakfast, we went back to our apartment to pack up our bags. We left them in our car, while we went walking around town again. We went back to the river, stopping at a closed restaurant and walking around a half-island under construction. We stopped by the gallery where we had gotten the three pieces a couple of days before, but didn’t get anything else. Finally, it was time to get Mom to the airport. 

We went back to the apartment, gave our keys back to the owner and left. Isabella almost started crying because she was upset at Mom leaving. When we pulled into the airport, we saw a massive, modern building where we were supposed to drop Mom off. We gave Mom two beli naliv apples, so she wouldn’t be hungry, hugged and kissed, then we left. 

Dad drove us to the Baltic Sea, because it was on the way back to Warsaw, and we had brought our bathing suits. First, it was very difficult to find parking. We finally just parked off the road on some dirt. Then, we had to walk for a kilometer until we could see the grey-blue sea and beehive yellow sand. Isabella was eager to jump right into the cold Baltic water, while I was a bit more hesitant. There were many pieces of wood washed up on the coast, so I went about the business of trying to find amber in the woody mass. When I could stand the heat no longer, I changed and dove into the refreshing water. Eventually Dad told us that we had to get home. We stopped by a fish-shop to get lunch-dinner. 

The ride back to Warsaw was a long and tiring one lasting about four hours When we came home, we ate a snack and almost immediately went to bed. And that’s how this day went down in history, July 15, 2018.
