This Post is going to be Legend... wait for it.......... Dary!

      Alright well her is my recap of the last three days! I can easily say it was one of the most informant, scary, fun, and tiring 3 days here!

Lady With Ermine
      Firstly Balthazaar and I went to several meuseums. I am extremely happy to say that my eyes have seen the famous Lady with an Ermine in Cracow by Leonardo Da Vinci. It is beautiful. It looks like a digital painting as you can barely see and painting strokes and the colors are beautifully blended... Until this Day I can honestly say that I have never truly appreciated or understood why he was famous, but after seeing his art I can totally understand why. On this trip we also saw Warsaws amazing collection of 18th and lower century paintings, and took a photo with the Royal throne that so many rich bums have sat in. The scary yet informant part of this day was the jewish ghetto that we went to. After an hour long film and displays Balthazaar and I left quite pale. the treatment and things that have happened to the Jewish and Polish communites is so much worse than you can understand- I mean school informs us alot about what happened in the war, but what we learned is so censored and when you really think about it almost fabled. I feel privlidged to have a broaden understanding of what has gone on.

Look it's good this time!
       The next day was fun. Gosia, Balthazaar and I went out for lunch, travelled the city and went to the Kings speech. It was t-t-t-t-t-t-terffic! I really liked it and it will get a nice 4 stars from me (Sloooow begginning). Then behold the night life! Yes Zak and his friends went bar hopping! All together we went to about 4 bars and 1 club (forgive me if i am off ;) ). Throughout this legendary night we drank lots of 1 dollar pints! (Well Canada and Belguim did at least! Cause Poland is a good girl. We took many funny photos that I believe will never be put on facebook, took pictures with a past out Polish man who's friends had him sitting perfectly upright, and danced away the night at a club to awesome beats! I also cannot forget the crude Polish Kareoke that I belted off with everyone at the tops of my lungs... wow... who would have thought that when you are drunk it because alot easier to speak the language- and no this is not a joke!

     At night I went back to Balthazaars place so that I would not disturb Kinga or Michael (as he had just gotten back from working several late shifts). I crashed hard and woke up the next day to only discover my Belguim friend had never seen the Hangover- but don't worry! I fixed him! The rest of my day was spent helping out Michael and Kinga set up their brand new TV. it is awesome! it is one of those 3-D ones and it seriously blows my mind. It was a good and quiet night for me and I took the time to plan out my next travels.

    That is all to report! Maybe there are a few things that will catch up to me and I will post a "one more thing" post. Or maybe not.



I am still having problems with the pictures but I hope to have them up soon! Thanks for reading!!!!
