here in poland

---

so we arrived earlier today after a 6 hour train ride. second class. yikes. there really just is no way for you to get comfortable next to that many people, at least not me.

we came to krakow to see auswitch tommorow, and mom pointed out that we were probably travelling on the same rails they took the jews, since many jews were taken from austria, where we left yesterday. that was a chilling thought.

on a different note, people here are friendly, and lucky for us most know bsic english, since last time i checked my polish was about as good as my german. i swear if it weren't for diagrams we would be so hopeleslly lost. thank got for art school, yeah!

also, it's cool here, seriously, i even needed a sweater today!!! it was downright amazing. first day in a few weeks i haven't felt gross and sweaty at 8 in the morning.

as soon as i find a place to update pics, we will.

one more thing, didn't know this, but poland is known for it's amber, had to get an amber necklace, btu you should have seen the size of the pendants here!!! all shapes, sizes, colors, polished, unpolished, i saw a piece of amber, swear to god as big as a softball, on a chain. how in the world would one wear that!!! i want that!!! why not me!

won't know when i'll get a chance to write again, but only a few more weeks till home, i will appreciate a bath no doubt, haven't had one since i left home. boo hoo.
