We didn’t have wifi at our hotel last night, so I am behind on the blog.  But I have decided to wait a bit to tell you about the Concentration Camps we have visited after more personal reflection and thoughts about them.  We have seen several, all very different and we will see Auswitz- Berkenau on Monday.  This has been an amazing tour and experience and it is something I think  deserves the time I need to tell you all that I can about these places.  But, Imwill tell you about today…we left Lublin early after a delicious breakfast and drove most of the day to Kraków.  We had a good lunch at a rest stop…I had kielbasa with grilled onions.  Just delicious.  The we went to visit the Salt Mines near Kraków that have been mined for 1000 years.  We rode down to the mines in elevators and went to four different levels.  All along the mine, we saw dioramas carved out of salt that gave a visual picture of the history of the salt mining.  Finally, after hundreds of stairs down to the bottom, we arrived at a huge chapel carved out of the salt.  Scenes from the Bible are carved into the walls, as well as statues, crucifixes, and a statue of JohnPaul II.  The crystals for the huge and magnificent chandeliers in the church are made of salt. It was really hot on the surface, but as far below as we were it was very cool..  This mine is no longer being mined for the salt, but itmismthe 2nd biggest tourist attraction in Poland, after Auschwitz.  After our tour, we came to our hotel, had dinner and are now ready for bed.
