Krakow, Poland

The last two days have been quite a few "firsts" for me: first time on a Night Train; first time having my passport checked and stamped at a border crossing; first time in Poland; and first time staying in a hostel. To put it modestly, until I actually checked into the hostel, set my backpack down in the room, and then sat down at this very computer, I was freaking out. I am a creature of habit, confident in everything I do that I've done before. Buying tickets to another country, and then actually getting on the train and going, is as crazy to me as Strom Thurmond coming back from the dead and running in the next Presidential election.

The hostel where we're saying is very nice, and we're just about to head out to explore the city. It was quite an adventure getting here, but it's certainly not over just yet.
