I am so excited for this weekend. It will be a nice weekend away. Heading to Krakow, Poland. It's not going to be a completely cheerful weekend, as we are going to tour Auschwitz. But it'll be a good weekend to learn and see a bit of history. I know that the tour will be very sobering and sad. I did end up going to Buchanwald at the end of the year, and you could just feel the sadness there. And they didn't use the gas chamber at that camp.
I can and cannot imagine what Auschwitz will be like.
I am ready to look at and hopefully purchase some Polish Pottery. I've seen some for the past few years and they are pretty. It'll be a nice keepsake. Anyway....need to pack, clean, and do all the rest before leaving.
Have a great weekend, and safe travels for anyone heading out of town!

Wow, that does sound like some "heavy" traveling. It would definitely be interesting. I look forward to hearing more about your trip!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'll write about it when I return, and hopefully get some pics posted, too!
ReplyDeleteWow, good luck. It will be interesting to see how you feel once you've visited. It must be almost surreal to be in a place like that knowing what we now know about what went on. I remember spending almost a whole day at the holocaust museum in D.C. - it was so absorbing, compelling, and very very sad. Good luck.
