Thursday, August 6 - Krakow and Częstochowa Poland


This morning I was up early to go with Eve and Nancy to Częstochowa on our own little pilgramage to the Shrine of the Black Madonna. It was an amazing experience: there were so many people, all there for the same reason. It was a beautiful church and I was able to see the Black Madonna painting unveiled (despite throngs of people). We had a nice little train ride through the countryside there and black; altogether the day was very nice.

I returned to our hotel and then went to dinner with the remaining few girls, before doing a bit of souvenir shopping. I really love this city at night: it is very beautiful.

I cannot believe tomorrow is my last day here! Off to bed so I can have an early start and the full day to explore.
