Just me and Krakow.

This morning I said good-bye to Vova, Mihal, Bartek and Monika and departed for Krakow with Julie, Ala and Charles. Leaving the Wojewodzic family was a lot tougher than I ever imagined it would be. Though I've only known them for just over a week, we had a great time together and we all found ourselves holding back tears as I left. I miss them already!

Now that I'm here in Krakow, sitting in Hostel 7 on the beautiful main square, I actually find myself wishing I were back in Nowy Sacz. Sure, I was able to spend a fun afternoon here today with Julie, Ala and Charles walking around Kazimierz (the Jewish neighborhood) and seeing beautiful architecture... but now it's just me and Krakow for a day and half - and I have to say I'm lonely. Marc - where are you?

Tomorrow morning, I will venture out into this beautiful city to see more of the amazing architecture, meet other travelers, buy some Polish memorabilia, see some more synagogues and churches, and eat a few final Polish meals before I head home on Thursday. It's been a great trip! I have met some remarkable people along the way and I have been to some pretty crazy places. Now, I believe I'm quite ready to come home and start processing everything I learned. Just me and Krakow tomorrow and then on Thursday it's Boston, here I come!
