Our first train ride (!!) to Wroclaw, Poland - May 23, 26, 27

On Tuesday, we had an 8:00 am train from Krakow to Wroclaw, Poland. The Polish countryside was beautiful and we enjoyed traveling through several small towns, Katowice (the birthplace of Pope John Paul II), and kilometers of agricultural communities. Some of the fields were a beautiful yellow and we later found out that a major crop in Poland is rapeseed.

We arrived in Wroclaw (pronounced Vrotswav) and were able to go on a tour of the city before we presented at one of the Wroclaw Rotary Clubs that evening. We haven't written much about our presentations at Rotary Clubs, but we have been making a lot of them! We made four in Lodz, two in Krakow . . . and our presentations have gone well. The hula has definitely been a hit in every club and we have spread the hula across Poland by teaching it in the clubs as part of our presentation. We quickly went through the box of leis that we brought with us to give away and gave away the last ones at the District Conference in Krakow.

Here are some pictures of Wroclaw - a city with a market square possibly as beautiful as Krakow's that is also very alive because of the large amount of students that attend the many universities and academies there.
