Visiting Europe, August 2010

8.11.10 - 8.22.10

I spent a lovely hot (100+ degree days) week in Cyprus, taking walks, visiting museums and archeological sites and swimming almost every day. My parents and I then flew to Krakow, Poland and spent two days learning about the Jewish history of Krakow and then attending a fun family celebration. ~ emily
