Good morning, America –
As you slept last night, The Augustana Choir arrived in
Krakow, Poland via overnight train from Prague.
Thirteen alumni/friends boarded Polish Airways LOT flights from Prague to
Warsaw and on to Krakow, arriving in the snow at 12:15 a.m. this morning…so who
had the better deal…those flying or those training?
Hmmmm.
The jury is still out on that one.

The train was reported to be bumpy, but fun. (For most).
The flights were smooth and comfy, but lucky to land in Krakow due to
heavy ice and snow in the city. Most of
the earlier flights of the day had been cancelled. The important thing is that we are ALL here,
and the group has just left for Auschwitz.
Your editor has stayed behind to catch up on paperwork, the blog AND
some sleep. There are advantages to
being older – few and far between, but there are some!
I’m sure Facebook is full of photos from the students’
completely free day yesterday in Prague, and from the bags they dragged into
the hotel this morning, it would appear to me that shopping was among their activities! I’m also aware that many chose to visit the “Museum
on Communism” as well as the Dali exhibit and other sites. Dr.’s Nesheim, Johnson and I took a tour of
the “Municipal House” built during the Art Nuveou period and home to the Prague
Symphony Orchestra. It’s a might fine
building and some pictures are shown below.
So, short on news today, but long on some photos. Hope you enjoy them.

| Are you sure we are in Poland? Looks like Siberia to us! |

I had lunch with Martha Nesheim today and can report she is managing quite well, but it's OK that Paul will get home in another week! We were thinking of all of you as you venture to Auschwitz. Blessings.
