October 8th

Well last night i went on an overnight train which was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
much better than the overnight plane over to poland. we had beds to strecth our legs out and i got a lot of good sleep.

We are now in Krackow which is one of the biggest cities in Poland. I'll probably be updating my blog everyday while im here because we are doing so much stuff.


Today we went to the wawel (pronounced Vavil) which is a castle, a cathedral that is the seat of the Archidiocese of Krakow and it's also where Pope John Paul II was a cardinal. There was also the remains of Saint Stanislaus and St Queen Jadwiga which was very interesting. Most of the old Kings of Poland were buried underneath the Cathedral and we got to take a look at that. There was also a museum about John Paul II.


Tomorrow we will be going to Auswitch the concentration camp and that will be very emotional since more than 1 million people were murdered there.
