Kraków-Budapest Trip - Part I - Apr 16, 2007
-
From April 15-17 I was in Krakow, Poland's former capital and commonly said to be the most beautiful city in the country. It's one of the only cities that wasn't completely destroyed in WWII. We also visited nearby Wieliczka but I have no photos of it because you had to pay to take pictures. It's Poland's salt mine, because mining is still popular here. It was really neat to go underground and see all of the interworking of the mines. We also visited Auschwitz and Birkenau, the most known concentration camps in Poland. - Album was created 4 years 10 months ago and modified 4 years 7 months ago

Second Time Around - Mar 9, 2007
-
The Wrocław kids came back to Warsaw, but this time no Jack. There is a new girl in Wrocław, but she couldn't come. While they were here, we visited Warsaw's Uprising Museum. During WWII, Warsaw was occupied by the Germans for five years. They kept all of the Jews in a tiny ghetto closed in by a wall in a part of Warsaw, occasionally transfering large numbers of them to concentration camps like Auschwitz and Treblinka. Towards the end of the occupation, the remaining Jews and many Poles rose up together to fight despite the German's advanced military equipment. They did not defeat the nazis, but their courage and strength was praised. It's now preserved in this museum. (And every Pole's memory.) - Album was created 4 years 11 months ago and modified 4 years 11 months ago

CJ's birthday was on the 21st, so we celebrated by going ice skating! I have only gone a couple times in my life before so I was learning. It was SO much fun!

Before opening this album, please note that these are all photos of my friends and I being silly and has little cultural interest.
