Only our second day yet already at our third function- I'm going to wear out my party shoes! Evidently there is an American Chamber of Commerce in Warsaw that acts as a go-between to assist American companies that want to move into Poland. Today they had their annual Fourth of July party for all the local Americans, companies, and community leaders. It was just like any American fair you might attend- face painting, balloon animals, bouncy rides, and food. McDonalds, Pepsi, and Jim Bean were there handing out free food and drinks. In the second photo, Katy and Kyle are meeting the US Ambassador, Victor Ashe, for the first time.
But the best part, according to the kids, were the Segway rides! Watch the videos to see K and K try their skills!
Michael (blue and white shirt coming down the slide) thought the giant slide was the best part!

yay blog activity! keep it coming!
K & K, what did you think of the Segway? Good way to move around an urban environment?
I thought that the Segway was very sensitive. This didn't help for someone new to Segways, as pressing just a few inches forward on the handlebar sent you flying down the path.
A Segway might be a good alternative for shorter walks, but (if i recall correctly what the Segway guide told us) nothing more than 24 miles. It also controls surprisingly well on the bumpy grass that I rode around on.
