POLAND PT. II - WARSAW

So I meant to post this following the Auschwitz post, but then I had my final night in London, a train ride up to Glasgow (in which I had feelings and opted to post about leaving instead - in the moment and all that, ya know), and a day there before flying back to Seattle.  I've now been back in Seattle for a few days and getting my bearings, so here I am again to finally post the final part of my Poland trilogy - Warsaw!

AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU

One of the biggest reasons I've fancied traveling to Poland was my desire to visit Auschwitz.  I'm not entirely sure why I've wanted to do this so much, but it was one of the two main reasons for coming to Poland, specifically Krakow.  So on Wednesday, day two in Poland, I journeyed to the town of Oswiecim to take a tour of the largest and most famed concentration camp.

POLAND PT. I - KRAKOW

I've always wanted to go to Poland.  Maybe that seems a bit random, an honestly, it kind of is.  Most people's responses upon finding out I was going to Poland was "Why Poland?"   Well, for starters, every photo I've ever seen from Poland has been stunning.  Like, really, really beautiful.  And the photographer wannabe in me has been aching to go photograph that beauty for myself.  Also, I've always really wanted to go to Auschwitz.  Depressing as that may be, I feel like it's an experience I needed to have.  And it was, but that's a whole other post.  So anyway, I finished at the Globe and had a couple weeks still in Europe, so I thought I would travel.
