Zakopane

Yesterday was the best weather we have had in a long time which was perfect timing for our trip to Zakopane! Our bus ride took about 2 and 1/2 hours to get there and we were divided into a hiking group or sightseeing group. Since I was leary of hiking for 4 hours, I chose to do the sightseeing tour. We went to the Architecture Museum and it was so neat to see how many residents in Zakopane have their homes. They are known for their skill at wood carving and it is

showcased in their homes.

We then went to the famous cemetery called Stary Cemetery and Church. Again the most beautiful wooden church and wooden monuments that I have ever seen. Jana, Agatha, Lauren and I took an express tram up to the top of the mountain. Oh the view was breathtaking and serene.

After shopping for souvenirs we took the bus back home. As soon as we got back to the dorm we went to eat an outside cafe on the square listening to another live concert while we ate. All of the girls wanted to go on a carriage ride so we did. We loaded into a pink carriage (we thought that was fitting) and took a 30 minute ride which was beautiful. Then I called it a night!

I am skipping the school trip to Auschwitz in order to go with Jeremy when he visits. I know that I couldn't handle it two times so close together.
