    Auschwitz

    We finally made it to the first camp: Auschwitz I. This camp was well, a concentration camp. My writings on it will be in a separate article. Suffice to say, it was the sole reason I came to Poland. Depressing as it is, it’s a place that must be remembered.

    Then came the long drive home. Returning to the hostel, I attempted to use the internet but the WIFI was down. That wasn’t good, but there wasn’t much I could do. In the hostel kitchen, a French trio was making crepes. They had been making a huge meal the night before. Apparently, they were on vacation to cook. Amazing thing is how much they made (and ate). This group was still thin, though they seemed to eat tons. Bless them all.
