Just wanted to give a quick update on our night train experience from Krakow to Budapest. It was a 10-hour trip and we reserved a little couchette. The room had two three-level bunks and it was VERY small. It would have been a good trip, I think, but we showed up and there were no less than six Irish kids hanging out in our room. They proceeded to drink vodka and discuss music festivals most of the night so, needless to say, we got very little sleep. Nonetheless, we were very excited to arrive in Budapest this morning.

Krakow has proved to be a great place to start our trip. Our hostel was nice and there were a lot of fun, young people staying there. We have met people from all over: E.g., Massachusetts, New Zealand, France, UK, Ireland, California, Finland. Our hostel is right in the Main Market Square/Old Town. There are many restauracjas on the outskirts of the courtyard a lot going on. Cloth Hall, right in the middle of the square, is being renovated but contains famous 19th Century Polish art. The main alter piece at St. Mary's Church is one of the best Gothic sculptures [View Full Entry]

Hey Everyone! As most of you know I've spent the past year clerking for Judge Deanell Tacha in Lawrence, Kansas. Unfortunately my time there has come to an end and today I'm taking off for five weeks to backpack through Europe---one last attempt to avoid the inevitable arrival of the "real world." I start private practice in DC this fall. I'll be overseas until September 10 and my itinerary is pretty flexible at this point. Possible destinations include Krakow, Vienna, Budapest, Croatia, Munich, Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, French Riviera, Barcelona, Valencia, Sevilla, London. [View Full Entry]
