Finally in Krakow, Poland

I finally arrived here in Krakow Poland after about a 27 hour trip starting from Texarkana to Shreveport to Houston to Amsterdam (10 hour plane ride there) to Milan (with 7 hour lay over) to finally Krakow, Poland. Never missed a plane although it was promising. I had to run through the Amsterdam airport so I wouldn't miss my flight to Milan. This airport is massive and I had to run (ok jogged) atleast 3 miles to finally get to my gate. Once in Milan, I had the opportunity to leave the airport and make my way into the city center (40 minutes away by train). Hey why not. So, I jumped on the train with some help from an Italian man who made sure I was on the right train. He even sat by me and noticed my bagde on my carryon and so wanted to talk about Texarkana. He even pronounced it correctly before I even said anything. He said that he had heard of my city because of movies and how in the movies they drive through Texarkana going to Mexico. I thought that was interesting and funny! He was really nice and made sure I knew how to get the train back and everything before he left me. Once in Milan, I walked around and saw the castle. I have to admit I didn't go too far into the city in case I got turned around or lost track of time and would miss the train back to the airport. I did walk around the castle there. It was neat and I figured that it must be a great place for tourist and stuff because there was a lot of Japanese people there taking many photos (that is how you know it is good.) :-) I walked around the streets for a little bit but then my feet started to really hurt (got two blisters now) and my pursue and everything was killing my shoulders. So I decided to head back to the train station. Let me tell you, the weather there felt like I was back in Texas. It was hot! Anyways, I got a soda at the Italian Burger King and then went and bought some ice cream and even did it in Italian. I just listened to the folks in front of me and how they pronounced some things. It worked because I recieved what I wanted and was able to pay the right amount! I was shocked. When I was finished I headed back to the airport with no problems and got on the plane with no problems. We did have to wait once on the plane for a few minutes while they unloaded and then reloaded our bags back under for some odd reason. However, I kept myself entertained by this guy infront of me and to my right who was having a good time playing with his nose!!! Nice I know! I finally arrived in Krakow around 11pm (Poland time -- 4 pm Texas time) with all my luggage showing up and my mom and Hunter waiting on me. (Hunter is a young American missionary who was a missionary 8 years in Mexico where my mom always travels to. He is joining us this summer here in Poland until July 3 and helping us with missions stuff).

Until next blog, good day and God Bless!!!
