hmm i haven't posted in a long time. oh well. its spring break now and me meg and margaux came to krakow for a couple of days. yesterday we walked around town and visited wawel castle, the town square and a bunch of churches. its pretty cool. then today we took a bus out and visited auschwitz, which was cool and really sad at the same time. they had all this stuff that the nazi's had taken from the prisoners there. like 7 tons of human hair, thousands of brushes, thousands of pairs of shoes, and pots and all sorts of things. As part of the guided tour we also walked through one of the first gas chambers and crematoriums, that was later changed into something else after they opened the auschiwtz II at birkenau. it was really sad. we also saw the "wall of death" where prisoners who broke camp rules were shot, and the cells they were locked in before they died. it was really interesting to see everything, but really sad to be there and to know how many people died and suffered there. oy then we came home and had really yummy early dinner. and now im writing this. i'll probably go to bed soon even though its early, because we have to get up really early to catch a 6:50 flight to prague. yay!
