Of Sandy Beaches and Sunshine...

...we are dreaming. Greetings from Lubin, Poland and holy shit it is cold today! Right now it is 6F, and it should only be getting colder as the week goes on. Oi! That said we are having a great time. The drive up here was uneventful, but we learned that there are apparentaly no driving laws in this country. The biggest highway that we were on was two lanes, so when faster cars wanted to pass us (which happened alot, the speed limit is always ignored), they would just go by, reguardless of oncoming traffic. You and the oncoming traffic are expected to move right, creating a third lane in the middle. Sketchy? Yes it is. Last night it snowed a few inches and has been increasing the whole day. Luckily the car we are renting is VERY good in the snow, and came with winter tires. We are ok driving, but still makes things go bit slower.

Lublin is super cool--there is a very old city center, with classic small streets and alleys, a castle, etc. There are a lot of cool little shops and cafes, and the surrounding country is awsome as well. I have lots of pictures, but I'll have to wait until I get home to upload them.

Ok, I gotta go... Next up today is the concentration camp. Should be pretty intense. I'll let ya'll know...
