Well I know what you've all been wondering..Did she sleep on that flight?
Oh yes. I slept on every flight here including the hour flight from Munich to Krakow. I can sleep anywhere but especially in cars and planes.
This was my first international flight so I stayed up long enough for dinner to be served. Oh. Man. I had to look around and make sure the seat in front of me was still on top of my knees because I thought I was in first class for a moment. It was chicken and rice, vegetables, a salad, and very good cheesecake. Mmmmmm. It makes it even better when there is a very cute German flight attendant.
So cute.
We got to Munich at about 2 pm their time and immediately went through security checks. The German security officer asked me the usual questions but then threw me a curve ball:
"Oh you're from Utah? Runnin Utes!"
Swoon. Also cute. These German boys are something else.
This was a first.. The Munich airport shuttled us to our plane and we walked on with a set of stairs, you know, like Jay Z. It was pretty nice weather in Munich but we were welcomed with a pretty good snowstorm when we landed in Krakow. We found out it was their first snowstorm in a while. But I'm so glad it did because it just makes everything so beautiful and magical. Absolutely breathtaking!
We took a bus to our hotel and got settled in. Then went on a walk to dinner. Around here you can't get to most of the restaurants within the main square by car, so we walked. I actually love walking around. Everything is super close and it's just so pretty that you forget how far you're walking if you do go far.
This is half of the main square.
Walking to dinner.
We ate at a place that was delicious! It kind of felt like we were in an enchanted cabin.
The first thing we were served was goat cheese. If i had known that at home I would have skipped out on it but it actually wasn't too bad..very strong..but not bad. I promised myself I was going to try everything here at least once. The main course was really good though. So far, the food is delicious!
Goat cheese with jelly.
As we were waiting for food, the director of the museum stood up to give a couple of announcements and said a couple things I've remembered:
1) we're all here for a reason and a purpose. Find it and help others find theirs.
2) open up to your peers on the trip
My purpose for coming on this trip is because I am studying to be a history teacher and want to be able to teach my students first hand about the Holocaust. I believe that it's an important part of history not to be forgotten. Although Eva teaches forgiveness I don't feel that that is my purpose but I'm definitely excited to meet all the people from the trip and hear their stories.
Tomorrow we are going to tour the salt mines which I'm super excited about because they looked so beautiful when I looked them up online.
P.s. I will probably say "Krakow is beautiful" a million times..but for real. Krakow is beautiful!
