First Full Day in Poland!

So today we went to Madiwice, where Pope Jean Paul was baptized and served as cardinal. The town was very beautiful, and there were of course things that we had never really experienced before. Like a phone booth...who uses those these days! Only kidding! We also went to the old Jewish quarter in Krakow and ate lunch and went to the synagogue. The lunch was tasty, dark roast turkey, carrots, potato wedges, and slaw. I was almost left in the synagogue because I apparently am the only one who likes to read the posters with the descriptions because they had to come find me. We then went to the old town square where the trumpeter plays every hour and the famous cloth hall is. They have beautiful amber jewelry, but I still haven't found any pottery. Tomorrow, sadly I turn 22 and we spend the whole day at Auschwitz, I’ll let you all know how that goes. Off to bed!
