We began our seventh day of the international trip aboard a train crossing Ukraine into the country of Poland. All of the fellows shared close quarters for nearly 18 hours. The experience of this trip has been life changing and with great lessons in patience.
As the countryside passed by, the class could view the beautiful landscape and people from our cabins. We were all struck by the obvious contrast between the Ukrainian and Polish countryside. There appears to be an obvious prosperity gap occurring between the two countries. This may be due to different government leaderships in emerging democracies. We are excited to explore this theory in our upcoming sessions in Poland.
We arrived in the town of Krakow in late afternoon and were promptly whisked away to our hotel; where a well deserved shower and change of clothes were in order. The class had a wonderful dinner that consisted of a traditional Polish mushroom soup and grilled chicken. Along with sharing stories of our trip, the class celebrated Liz Silvas' birthday. Happy birthday Liz!!
