Today we spent finishing up some of the walls we have been working on all week. I wasn't able to do much as I had a bit of an incident this morning: I got something in my eye and after ignoring it and blinking alot for an hour or so I finally started washing it out. We tried for over an hour but I continued to be in more and more pain so we made a quick trip to an eye doctor. He was able to remove the piece that was in it and it feels much better now though quite irritated. I got to wear a patch for the day and have drops and things to put in it for a couple days. I was dissapointed that it happened but it wasn't that big of a deal. The doctor's didn't take too long and I got to see a Polish hospital (that makes a count of hospitals in two countries now haha).
It was really nice cause the woman who'd hosted us for dinner last night was a nurse so she tried to get it out for awhile and then came with me to the doctor. And even though we couldn't understand each other she was a comfort when the doctor was sticking things in my eye. Anyways, nothing seriosu but a no-fun end to the trip.
The group made a trip for pizza and to a silver mine this afternoon. I wasn't allowed to go though, instead I got a bit of rest and let my eye heal up some. This evening though, we went out to a local bar and sat and had a few drinks. It was a great time. We went out with Bobby, Sam and Michal and a few of us girls; we had many laughs and a really good time.
Today was our last day of building. I can't believe it's come to an end already. Time has passed much too quickly. I am so happy I made this trip though: I have made wonderful friends both Polish and Canadian and am very sad to have to say goodbye to them tomorrow. Tomorrow we are off to the Salt Mines and then to Krakow where I'll be spending the next 4 days before flying home on the morning of the 8th.
