Because she’s the best “far away” Mom a person could ask for :) And for anyone else who would like to view my life in pictures from the last few months.

We will begin in Old Montreal.

Next we will head to Poland…

In Gliwice, where Jordan grew up

At Auschwitz

Jordan had this striped sweater on and it reminded me of the movie about Auschwitz, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. It made the pictures he was in so eerie that day.

Birkenau

It is hard to share what I saw and felt on this day.  I just don’t know if I have the words to express it at all, let alone the right ones. I think the pictures say more perhaps anyway. So I will let them speak for themselves.

This tiny plant was growing out of the ashes at the Birkenau crematorium.

The next day, we went to Krakow. It is a BEAUTIFUL city.

Wawel Castle in Krakow

Nuns outside Wawel Castle. There is also a Cathedral attached to it.

Krakow was Pope John Paul II’s home before he became the Pope.  I would love to go to Krakow again. Wish we would’ve had more time there. Next time.

I will share more tomorrow but here’s a taste of Europe for you tonight.

Love, Pam
