So Poland was the very first country I visited in Europe. What an amazing country in terms of people, hospitality, foooodd!!!, and lots of history too. Everywhere you go to has such a history, you can see it everywhere. I lived in a tiny village called Olbrachcice with THE BEST host family you could ask for. Ahhh the FOOD! So I lived with them for 3.5 months and tried my best to learn Polish, and I did... but today 2006 my Polish is long gone. Hope to pick it up again though! I am going back to Poland for this summer and I just can't wait to see everything and everyone after almost 3 years!

The Leaning Tower of Zabkowice
This old tower (almost everything in Poland is old and historic) is one of the main attrations the city has to offer. It's like a piece of Italia but Polish style.

Polish Mountains in the middle of winter
You can probably tell how cold it was as you can only see my eyes and the one hand. I had many layers of clothing that day!
