Tuesday August 5 - R and R day


Today was our day of rest and relaxation. We packed up early in the morning to leave Gliwice and then travelled to the Wieliczka Salt mines. It was really amazing to see, especially the large underground church.

Afterwards we returned to Krakow and checked into our hotel. I was pretty emotional for the rest of the evening, after having to say goodbye to my new Polish (and American) friends. It is a hard thing to reconcile, making these new friendships in so short of time and then saying goodbye knowning it is unlikely you will ever see each other again.

We all went out together as a group for dinner at a very nice authentic Polish restaurant - the food was very good, as was the company. We said goodbye to a few group members last night but others are staying here in Krakow for a few more days so we will have the opportunity to still hang out.
