Poland... Pics


Pics from Poland. None of me, but that, of course, is how I like it. :) Enjoy!

Cute little cobblestone streetscape just outside Old Town

Another church looking out the Old Town "castle-like" walls

The Castle-like wall surrounding Old Town, from the stairs of the church above.

One of the MANY Catholic Churches in the area.
My favorite part is the little old lady on the bench

The entrance to Old Town

Another Church

Pope John Paul's parish, before he became Pope

Just another cool shot of Old Town

Poland...

Well, my trip was fine. I have lots of pictures of cool buildings and stuff that I can't identify. I will be sure to post those once I get them off my camera. That is cool and all, BUT my co-worker was smart enough to take a tour... and his post says more about Poland than I ever could... so, enjoy!

Poland

Today's things to be happy about...
  • Losing weight though eating pierogies
  • Antibiotics
  • Experiencing history first-hand
  • Knowing we live in a different world, where society (in general) tries to learn from their mistakes
  • Sleeping in your own bed after a long trip

ok, i lied...

I wasn't back and I didn't repair my ways... I am one of the worst bloggers EVER. I am sorry - and busy-ness shouldn't be an excuse, but it is the lame one that I am using.

In the last two weeks, I have been in Chicago, then Miami, am sitting in a hotel in New York right now and am headed to Warsaw, Poland tomorrow. Vodka research... no REALLY, I am not kidding. I get back this weekend.

I also have a killer sinus infection - which is awesome when flying - and sitting in the research room sniffling. My back is also KILLING me, despite spending the AM at the chiropractor. It's good times here in Tina's travel world.

Something to be happy about: When I went to Miami, I voluntarily got bumped and "earned" 400 free delta bucks... you gotta love free trips from being bumped on a trip you didn't pay for to begin with. WOOHOO.

So I have never been to Poland. Apparently, the weather is very similar to home... I need to do a little investigation on what to do/where to go. We are doing research, but I have a day or two to wander. So I am open to suggestions... Anyone? ;)

I also FINALLY got my school application out to my 13-week boot camp in Minneapolis, MN this past week. It is a HUGE weight off my back. Now they just need to accept it!


Anyway, I hope to be more loyal to this thing, but we'll see if my life actually lets that happen! Hope everyone out there is doing well!
