Opole University of Technology

You don't need to enlarge this pic.











This was taken at the sport and recreation facility at the university. This particular faculty (or college) is located on a former military base that was first occupied by the Germans during WWII, and then by the Polish army after the war. In 2004 the university purchased the barracks and has begun transforming the space into residence halls, academic classrooms, and recreation facilities.




We each gave a presentation. I spoke on tourism and recreation issues in the US.







Dr. Garrahy presented on the Physical Education Teacher Education program at Illinois State.








Dr. McLoda discussed his research on ankle injuries. The audience was comprised of students of physical education, physiotherapy, and recreation and tourism. Also present were several faculty members, a dean and the vice rector (VP) of the university.




We discussed curricular matters with several faculty over coffee and sweets.







In Poland you don't have to save your silverware after the appetizers. It's kind of funny thinking how hard we work in the US to guard our forks and knives.









This Catholic church was built in 1230.









This picture shows what is left of the original wall that surrounded the city.

I should have read the caption about not blowing the top picture up before I did so. By the way, I think you have a cavity in the right lower molar.
