Sunday

Sunday morning I studied for a while until it was time to go to Wieliczka Salt Mine. I had already been here before but decided to go ahead and go with everyone else since I was feeling a bit bummed (missing home). I had a great time hanging out with everyone and the salt mine is quite a remarkable site. They have a beautiful chapel which is the lowest underground church in the world and we were at the lowest (approx. 327 meters deep). To get down into the salt mine you have to walk down about 400 steps for the first level and then again to get to the lowest point, so in all you have to go down approximately 800 steps, whew!

Since we worked up quite the appetite, we had pizza for supper near our dorm. I shared with a friend so I paid about $3.50 for 1/2 of a pizza and a coke. :) Is important to tell you that they do serve pizza with the option of a side of ketchup. I kindly declined in Polish of course.
