Salt Mines

We just got back from a really great tour of the salt mines in Wieliczka (Poland).  They are awesome. The miners have carved all sorts of scenes and figures and other things in the mines and there is a huge cavern with the most beautiful scenes where they play music and can even hold worship services.  We had heard it was beautiful and it surely lived up to our expectations.  We had a meal afterwards and it was excellent as well. They have been wonderful to make sure I have not had any problem with the garlic and onion allergy.  We had the best mushroom soup served in a carved out roll with a top and everything.  On the way back from the mines, the bus driver (Martin) and our program director Yenreck detoured and took us by to see the factory from Schindler's list.  We really were thrilled to get to see this.  Tomorrow we have an all day touir to Zycopane in the mountains.
