Salutations! Its 7pm this fine Thursday evening. I flew today from Krakow to Berlin .. and tommorow I am on my way AGAIN to Slovenia and Italy. My trip to Krakow...was actually much much more. Haha .. I will tell you the intinerary .. over the weekend we went to Dresden and Gorlitz..both German cities in the Southish Eastish part of the country. Dresden was really cool .... you could really see the difference between the old old windy city and the ugly Soviet block housing. Our chaperone/guide was a man who grew up in Dresden and could tell us about what it was like growing up and living there. Incredibly enouch, he has lived throught 4 political times .. Hitler, Russian occupation, the GDR, and now a united Germany. Gorlitz was beautiful and old and we saw tons of of buildings from serioulsy the 1400s. Krakow was SUUUPER awesome ... the center of the city is very old, big, and pedestrian only. I looooove pedestrian streets, they just feel so much more friendly. The center was beautiful, with a big marketplace, a towering cathedral with two towers, and lots of windy streets. Argh, I hate how I cannot express the beauty of these places through type .. and unfortunately I have no pictures since I have no digital camera. Sorry everyone! So yes, tommorow I am on my way again, flying to Ljubljana, Slovenia, followed by Venice, Florence, Sienna, and Pisa. This time it is just Jesse and me .... so that will be nice. Alrighty ... were going to go out to dinner and then pack etc. I will actually be here at the center tommorow, so maybe more love will come your way! Also dann. BIS dann! tschussie. Deb
