Flew into Poland on Tuesday. I was out in the country in Ireland, so I didn't have email to figure out where I should go when I landed. I sat and thought about what I should do, and when I finally thought to walk to a hotel and use the internet, a couple of friends from America showed up. Life happens like that sometimes. We took a train into Krakow and explored the city for a while. We went out at night and made friends with an American who worked as an agent for Black Water in Baghdad. He stayed on with us for our adventures and met up with us again the next night. Wednesday we took a train into Auschwitz. Walking into a death camp is not something that can be properly explained or forgotten. This morning we took the train back to Warsaw, and it's good to see so many familiar faces. So many castles and churches and mountains and fields are making my head spin. I like this traveling thing.

Glad you're alive and in Poland! Did you meet up with the Leedy's in Krakow? And I'm glad you and your spinning head like this traveling thing! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I miss Poland! The food is spectacular, as I am sure you are realizing. For me please have a kebab, a pickle, bigos, zapikanka (those long pizza things with ketchup and mushrooms) and some pierogies! Did you love the square in Krakow at night? It felt very magical. If you're still in Warsaw I 200% recommend a visit to the Resistance Museum. Fascinating. If you don't have partiular cities to visit and you are feeling adventurous, I suggest a trip up to Gdansk on the Black Sea. Beautiful, and cheap, and the Solidarity Museum is a must. Poland really changed the world. Plus the guys are hot. Enjoy! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, how did your poetry reading go?
ReplyDeletePoetry reading went great! Some Irish friends I made came out to cheer me on :)
