Krakow, Poland

Just a little update...

We're in Krakow for the next couple days. It's a very cool city with an awesome central square with a ton of cafes and restaurants and shops. We went to the salt mines outside the city yesterday. We did a tour that was like 150 meters underground. There's a cathedral, statues, and another chapel all carved out of the salt in the ground.

Today we'll hang around the city center and then tomorrow we'll visit Auschwitz. Then tomorrow night we take a night train to Berlin.

We're in Naples, Italy

So I've been terrible about updating you all. Sorry. We are still alive. :) We're in Naples, Italy right now. It's been really good. We took the train to Sorrento, a smaller town on the coast yesterday and just relaxed by the water. Today we visited Pompei and Vesuvius, which were both really cool. Tomorrow morning, we take the train back to Rome and then fly out to Warsaw, Poland. Then we go to Krakow, then Berlin, then fly out of Munich to New Jersey!

The trip has flown by very quickly. We have had a blast. We loved Cinque Terre, Italy--an area on the coast with five small towns on the Mediterranean. We also loved Rome. We stayed at a great hostel there and met some really fun people who we ended up hanging out with quite a bit. We also got a great tour of the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, went to the Vatican and didn't have to wait in any lines for anything, and ate tons of gelato and pizza.

Sorry this update is short and lame. I'm really tired and my brain is barely functioning enough to write coherent sentences. :)

I love and miss you all! Sorry I haven't been able to post pictures...we usually don't have enough internet time or we can't do that on certain hostel computers. I'll make sure to post some when I get back.

Also, FYI in case anyone was curious, I fly back to Chicago the night of the 23rd...and real life begins! AHH!

Love,

Sarah
