Today after class, Vladek took us to Kazimierz, which is the Jewish quarter here in Krakow. It was truly awe-inspiring. We saw both the old and new Jewish cemeteries and several different synagogues. In the cemeteries, instead of flowers, people would place small stones on the graves as a small memento that they were there. Although we did not see the Jewish ghetto or Schindler's factory today, I think we will see that sometime this week since the International Holocaust Conference starts on Wednesday. I got several good pictures in Kazimierz, and I can't wait to show them to everybody! But I better go do some reading for class, so I will write more later!

I am always up for trying new things, but as a student and working nearly full-time as well, we generally end up eating fast food way too often. This is my endeavor to change that.
