The thing I love about study abroad is getting to know the students. Of course I love being in the classroom, but on study abroad, the world is the classroom. It’s fantastic. We have such a great group of students…and no one complained that it rained all day. I have seen many a Kraków skyline, but none like today with such low clouds. We did four things today: 1) Visited the site of Płaszów, a former slave-labor camp (featured in “Schindler’s List”); 2) Met Dr. Edyta Gawron at Jagiellonian University for a great lecture; 3) Visited the Kraków JCC; and, 4) Had a marvelous group dinner in Kazimierz. Getting to know the students is a blast: Logan, Dan, Kaerra, Elena, Alex, Melonie and Kelly! We are still bonding at this point, figuring each other out before we face the most difficult sites on this trip.
