Bedzin Blues

The Kafka Project has landed in Bedzin, in Upper Silesia (which is actually south and east of Lower Silesia). Byron and I are staying at a small, two-star hotel (one of only three hotels in town) across the Przemsza river from the 14 th century castle, the symbol of Bedzin , which is celebrating its 650 th anniversary this year.

It is a coincidence that we are here since we weren't planning to come back after the Magical Mystery Literary Tour made a quick stop on our journey between Prague and Krakow. But maybe it's not such a coincidence. On our first morning, when I looked out the window, a van with the number 108 was parked outside.

Dear Kathi and Byron. Your reports have been fascinating and I am enjoying all of them. The pictures are great. Love GG

K & B ~ it comes as no surprise to those of us who have been following your quest for a number of years that "108" appears at just the right moments to point the way. After all, Dora has always been the 'silent partner" directing project. Still, reading your accounts and hearing your story always leaves one with (as the Germans would say), "skin of the goose". Can't wait to hear more! Be safe friends and cats await. Much love, L.
