Travel

I'd never wanted to visit Poland, due to WWII and treatment of Jewish people, but a friend was marrying there (north of Warsaw, small city,) so we took it as an excuse for a European trip.

Wedding celebration went on and on, I suspect due to times when families only gathered, from far away, for such events, so they go for days. We stayed for service and dinner party, MANY courses, and left the next day for Vienna, which I forgot to mention above. I surely did NOT visit concentration camps. Also, on our way to wedding, stopped overnight in Berlin (for train connection,) so visited Germany which I'd never wanted to visit. Saw Brandenburg Gate, which was a good thing cause husband's last name was Brandenburg. (He'd been adopted, so not REALLY German; Irish, instead.) Got a nice little trip around town from cab driver.

DID visit Prague with daughter, when I visited her in Rome; took a detour. Interesting place, that.
